Marking Resilience: Indigenous North American Prints.

- Abstract
The article discusses the exhibition "Marking Resilience: Indigenous North American Prints" at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, which showcases recent acquisitions of prints by Indigenous artists from the United States and Canada. The exhibition highlights Indigenous resistance and "survivance" through printmaking and features works by prominent Indigenous artists such as Marie Watt, Jaune-Quick-to-See Smith, Dyani White Hawk, and Jeffrey Gibson. The artists explore themes of language, history, and cultural resilience in their prints, addressing the impact of colonization and the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous communities. The article emphasizes the growing visibility of Indigenous North American art in the contemporary art world and the emergence of a movement called "Indigenous Conceptualism." The prints in the exhibition reclaim paper as a material that was historically used to subjugate Indigenous peoples, and their true value lies in the conversations they provoke about narrative, culture, and death.
