To Move Across the Land

To Move Across the Land

Contemporary Native Art Biennial (BACA), 8th edition

To Move Across the Land brings together a constellation of Indigenous voices across Turtle Island, Mesoamerica, South America, Oceania, Northern Europe and Africa. Working in various mediums – performance, painting, ceramics, film, photography, sculpture, textiles, and installation – these artists are united by core concerns: colonial legacies, cultural survival, gender and body sovereignty, and ceremonial memory. Defying imposed borders, both physical and symbolic, their works map relationships through memory, ritual, gendered embodiment, language, and land.
