ANCHORAGE, AK (PNAN) – How are Indigenous Alaska artists today strengthening self and community, and guiding the next generation from surviving to thriving? Soon goers will know with the forthcoming opening of “Protection: Adaptation and Resistance” on Sunday, October 23, 2022 at the Anchorage Museum. This exhibition will explore three themes: Land and Culture Protectors, Activists for Justice and Sovereignty and Resilient Futures.
Working within intergenerational learning groups and as collaborators in vibrant community networks, Alaska’s Indigenous artists are invigorating traditional stories in customary arts and proposing resilient futures through design, tattoo, regalia and graphic arts.
Artist projects elevate collaboration, ally-ship and community as tools of resistance, adaptation, and cultural affirmation, especially in these times of pandemic, climate crisis and ongoing assaults to human rights.
