Event Details
Women have long been the creative force behind Native art. Presented in close cooperation with top Native women artists and scholars, Hearts of our People is the first major traveling exhibition of artwork by Indigenous women of the past and present, honoring the achievements of over 100 artists from the United States and Canada spanning over 1,000 years. Their triumphs—from pottery, textiles, and painting, to photographic portraits, —show astonishing innovation and technical mastery. Philbrook is the final stop for this groundbreaking exhibition, and our presentation will include pieces from the collection representing local communities selected by a group of Oklahoma Native advisors:
- Heather Ahtone (Chickasaw/Choctaw)
- Ruthe Blalock Jones (Peoria/Shawnee/Delaware)
- Anita Fields (Osage)
- America Meredith (Cherokee)
- Juanita Pahdopony (Comanche)
- Mary Jo Watson (Seminole)
