Indigenous Art Exhibit To Open At Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum is opening up a new exhibit on Sunday, May 23.

The exhibition is called "Each / Other" and features contemporary indigenous artists Marie Watt and Cannupa Hanska Luger.

“Each / Other is really about this relationship between part and whole and how we’re all connected,” Watt told CBS4. “There these culturally coded objects, they’re storied objects and I think that people can bring their own stories to them.”

The exhibition will feature 26 mixed media sculptures, wall hangings, and large-scale installation works by both artists. It will also have a new artists-guided community artwork.

This will be the first time Watt and Luger have collaborated or had their artwork shown alongside one another.

“Visitors will be presented with the familiar but then also presented with new ideas, new materials that may have not seen before,” John Lukavic, the Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Native Arts for the museum, told CBS4. “There are so many voices that are being told and so many stories that are being told in this exhibition that everyone can find something that they can connect with.”

The exhibition, which is included in general admission, opens on Sunday, May 23 and visitors will have a chance to see it until August 22.
