Hear about art from artists and curators. In this podcast, co-curators Jeffrey Gibson and Jenelle Porter take you into the exhibition An Indigenous Present, on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. They are joined by artists Teresa Baker, Raven Chacon, Sky Hopinka, Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Caroline Monnet, Anna Tsouhlarakis and scholar Philip Deloria in a series of conversations about contemporary Indigenous art.
Called “unequivocally beautiful” by the Boston Globe, the exhibition spans a century and celebrates the innovation, breadth, and beauty of abstraction in works by 15 North American Indigenous artists.
See An Indigenous Present at the ICA/Boston through March 8, 2026. The exhibition will then travel to the Frist Art Museum in Nashville (June 26—September 27, 2026), and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle (November 7, 2026—February 14, 2027).
