Visual legacies and the american west: resilience and reckoning [the large-scale traveling exhibition, visual legacies and the american west: resilience and reckoning will feature approximately 100 artworks made by native american artists of the plains and southwest as well as european-american artists from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This exhibition resituates the visual legacies of the american west by prioritizing native american self-representation and elevating overlooked art by native american artists, while, at the same time reckoning with the visual legacies of european-american artworks. This is the first major art exhibition to focus deeply on the coexistence of art by diverse native american peoples and non-native-american artists. The exhibition themes and checklist will be shaped through a collaborative and interdisciplinary curatorial process. Visual legacies and the american west seeks a ?more perfect union? Between native and non-native art in american art, history, and culture writ large.]
