All My Relations Arts PresentsUŋči Said
Uŋči Said So is solo exhibition from artist Danielle SeeWalker (Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta, Standing Rock Sioux Nation). Uŋči Said So is not a suggestion. It is instruction. It is memory passed down in kitchens, at ceremonies, in the quiet ways Native women have always governed without permission.This work showcases a diverse range of styles, from bright and humorous to serious and tender, with a nod to the matriarchal elders who have shaped our perspective on the world. These works are rooted in stories told around bowls of soup and frybread, amongst big auntie laughter, and in humble cultural gestures that become our collective identity.
Opening reception: Friday April 10th, 6 – 8pm
