“Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists,” an art exhibit celebrating the artistic contributions of Native women, is taking a tour across the country with upcoming stops in Washington, D.C. and Tulsa this year. The exhibit includes over 100 pieces from women of different tribes and from different times. We’ll talk with the curators and some of the artists about how women are a driving force in the art world.
Guests:
Teri Greeves (Kiowa) – beadwork artist and co-curator of the “Hearts of Our People” exhibit
Jill Ahlberg Yohe – associate curator of Native American art at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and co-curator of Hearts of Our People
Kelly Church (Anishinaabe, Odawa and Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Potawatomi) – black ash basket maker

Outstanding! The voices of women artists are strong, colorful and in harmony.
Beautiful painting on canvas. I enjoy beading on fabric.
Wonderfully vibrant.
I am really proud to say that our local museum, the northwest Museum of arts and culture, has a strong connection to the tribes within this area. They were the recipients of the largest collection of plateau native artifacts and many of them were repatriated over the years. We just had an exhibit about the grandmothers ways. There are some coming up that sound like a lot of fun. https://www.northwestmuseum.org/exhibits/upcoming-exhibits
