We Are Water, We Are Land November is a month of reflection. Leaves are falling, making way for new growth come spring and, in America, we spend time thinking about what we are thankful for. For Indigenous people, November marks the beginning of a celebration of their beautiful and diverse cultures with Native American Heritage Month. This exhibition at the Chase Gallery, We Are Water, We Are Land, aims to provide glimpses into the lives of five local Indigiqueer artists: 2s Canoe, Alexis Tonasket, Evan Benally Atwood, Lacey Bacon Abrahamson and exhibition curator Roin Morigeau. Each artist’s work tells a story of identity and culture through their varied art and storytelling mediums.
The new exhibit features artwork from Jessica Earle, a professor at Eastern Washington University, that explores the concept of escapism as a positive force within our everyday lives.
