Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map

Memory Map is a comprehensive exploration of almost five decades of work by revolutionary artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and the largest showing of her work to date, organised by the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Across decades and mediums, Smith has deployed and reappropriated ideas of mapping, history, and environmentalism while incorporating personal and collective memories. The retrospective offers new frameworks in which to consider contemporary Native American art. Memory Map shows how Smith has led some of the most pressing dialogues surrounding land, racism, and cultural preservation—issues at the forefront of contemporary life and art today.

This exhibition is organised by Laura Phipps, Associate Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, with Caitlin Chaisson, Curatorial Project Assistant. The presentation at The Modern Art Museum of Forth Worth is organised by Curator Alison Hearst. 

The presentation will tour to The Seattle Art Museum, Washington, 15 February – 12 May 2024.
