Indigenous artists on reclaiming authenticity at the ‘Future Imaginaries’ exhibition

Two Native American artists meet for the first time at the “Future Imaginaries” exhibition at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles to discuss the complexities of what it means to be a “first people”. Future Imaginaries explores the rise of Futurism in contemporary Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma, creating alternative futures and advocating for Indigenous technologies in a more inclusive present and sustainable future.
