Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: In the Footsteps of My Ancestors

In the Footsteps of My Ancestors will include more than 40 paintings and works on paper from Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's personal collection, celebrating the artist as one of the U.S.A's finest Indigenous talents.

Mining her cross-cultural experience and Salish-Kootenai identity, Smith has earned her leading standing among women artists and Native American artists while simultaneously aligning both of these often still marginalised groups more closely with the mainstream art world. The exhibition will examine themes that perennially recur in her work, including conflict, compassion, peace, the cycle of life, irony, and identity.  

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue with contributions by notable essayists Lowery Stokes Sims and Gail Tremblay.
