K ART Announces Two New Exhibitions That Address Violence Against Women
Brought to Light brings together five Native artists: Natalie Ball; Luzene Hill; Sonya Kellihercombs; Jodi Lynn Maracle; and Julia Rose Sutherland. by BWW News Desk
K Art has announced the details for its newest exhibitions. Set to open Friday, April 30, 2021, in K Art s 2,000 square-foot gallery space, Brought to Light: The Epidemic of Violence against Indigenous Women addresses devastating statistics of violence. Compared to any other group, Native American women in the United States are more than twice as likely to experience violence; 84% of Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime. In 2016 alone, there were 5,712 known incidences of murdered or missing Native women. Canada has categorized this human rights crisis as genocide and has undergone a national inquiry into murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.
The current exhibition at the Ucross Foundation Gallery, “Marking Time,” is a collection of artwork of the two recent Native American Fellowship recipients, Luzene Hill, and Heidi Brandow. The exhibit is to bring attention, via the art, to missing and abused Native American Women.
Hill, a multimedia artist best known for her socially engaged conceptual installations and performances, and is an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian.
Brandow, a multi-disciplinary artist with an active painting, printmaking, and social-engagement. She hails from a long line of Native Hawaiian singers, musicians, and traditional dancers on her mother’s side, and Diné storytellers and medicine people on her father’s side.
