Solo artist exhibition at Core Gallery, Feb 2024

Black-Indigenous women artists address race, gender, multiracial identity, and intergenerational knowledge

The Haywards are a Tacoma based family that have inherited many talents and beautifully crafted pieces of work from their beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother. They have come together to share a collection of artwork in honor of their family, ancestors, and culture. In an array of mediums, the Hayward family displays their history through a visual memoir. This collection of work reflects on their identity and interrelationships.

Primarily showcasing works from Salish artists early in their careers, this exhibition borrows its title from a Joy Harjo poem that speaks to the spirit of this group show—familial and community connections centered around waterways.

Changing the Conversation: Artists’ Books, Zines, and Broadsides From the Collins Memorial Library Collection, which runs through Dec. 16, showcases examples of this highly creative medium of artistic expression, which uses the structure or form of a book as inspiration. The exhibition is the brainchild of library director Jane Carlin, who has a deep knowledge of, and affection for, artists’ books

Inspired by the summer season, the artworks in this show at ʔálʔal celebrate Indigenous joy. Pettibon's series of new original paintings feature images of plant relatives and Seliš language, reminding us of all the ways we can gather and grow this time of year.

Each piece in the exhibit is infused with personal perspective as well as cultural symbolism. Overall, the work speaks to the resilience of Indigenous communities and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Indigenous art.
