Come see the amazing Mata Ortiz pottery, and make your holiday purchases easy! Mata Ortiz pottery beautifully recreates Mogollon pottery found in and around the archeological site of Casas Grandes (in Chihuahua Mexico).
In this panel, Marla Allison (Laguna Pueblo painter), Dr. Barbara Mills (U of A Regents' Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archaeology), and Reid Gómez (writer, scholar, and U of A assistant professor of Women’s and Gender Studies), team up to discuss indigenous female-dominated arts and crafts of the American Southwest and how makers of the past and present have drawn inspiration and power from the creativity of the matriarchs who came before them. The panel will explore the evolution of crafts from a historic perspective and how artists today build on the past legacies of others and how one generation has often built off the last to create new and contemporary artforms.
See renowned métis artist Jaime Black’s compelling exhibition The REDress Project. In this work, the artist addresses the pressing crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW).
