Celebrating Indigenous Art
Celebrate indigenous art with us at the opening reception of "Ways of My Ancestors - Imagery: Lighting the Path to Awareness,” a Native American photography series by Hassanamisco Nipmuc Artist Scott Strong Hawk Foster (.photography).
This exhibit, launching during Native American Heritage Month, presents images that document the contemporary presence of the descendants of the Indigenous inhabitants of this land and the ways in which they preserve their culture and heritage today. With five two-sided portraits at each end of Quincy Market, Foster's portraits will greet visitors as they pass by, enter, and leave the building.
“My ethos as a Hassanamisco Nipmuc artist and cultural preservation photographer is to represent my family and my community authentically, to record compelling images that make known the true stories of our heritage, values, and oral traditions, and to attest to how we are thriving today! Through this portrait series,my goal is to educate the unaware and misinformed while fostering inclusion and speaking the truths to tell OUR story as Indigenous inhabitants of this region. That is 'the why' behind what I do.”
