Joe Harjo: Indian Removal Act II: And She Was – Opening Night
Friday, February 2, 2024
6–9pm
Join Contemporary at Blue Star for our first exhibition of the new year, Indian Removal Act II: And She Was featuring local artist and recent alumni of our Berlin Residency Program, Joe Harjo. This is the second part of a three-part exhibition series that looks at historical and contemporary issues impacting Native American communities.
Indian Removal Act II: And She Was shifts focus to Native women, specifically the stories of Harjo’s family members, to highlight how Christianity has been used as a tool to justify the enslavement or subjugation of non-Christian people and territories.
This event is free and open to everyone.
