Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicagoland
Block Museum of Art, Evanston, Illinois
January 25–July 13, 2025
A meeting point for tribes before colonization, and currently home to the third-largest urban Indigenous population in the US, the Chicago area is nevertheless under-appreciated as a Native culture center. In this show, four Native artists address that situation by exhibiting their work along with that of Chicagoland contemporaries and historical expressions of Native creativity in the area.
