Representation matters. Giving any community an opportunity to see work from a community they may not know much about helps not only expand that understanding, but enrich the visual language that accompanies that community. Indigenous Voices is meant to be an exhibition that showcases local Colorado contemporary artists, their work and their voices, giving insight into the rich tapestry of ideas that comes through modern art by living artists that are also Indigenous. Political, cultural, social and artistically driven, Indigenous Voices showcases artists that embody possibility through the art they create.
