This solo exhibition tells the story of Skawennati’s dynamic artistic trajectory as she envisions Indigenous people in the future.
The exhibition begins with Imagining Indians in the 25th-century (2000), a catalytic web-based work that marked a turning point in her career. It continues with her ongoing exploration of technology as a medium and subject, culminating in her most recent projects such as the 3-channel music video and fashion collection They sustain us (2024).
Rooted in Haudenosaunee storytelling, Skawennati’s artistic practice uses avatars, costumes, machinimas (movies made in virtual environments such as video games), and prints to playfully imagine and build a world where Indigenous people flourish, past and future intertwine, and resilience meets creativity.
