Today, we honor the rich art of Native American heritage! Join us in celebrating the vibrant cultures, stories, and art that have shaped our nation. Let’s uplift Indigenous voices and reflect on their profound impact.
>>>>>
Label Text:Jeffrey Gibson draws on his Choctaw and Cherokee heritage to create mixed-media works that critique cultural and societal norms. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU is from a series of punching bag sculptures adorned with colorful beads and other traditional native embellishments that reference regalia worn by indigenous powwow dancers. For Gibson, the punching bag is an inherently corporeal object that symbolizes endurance; it is a piece of athletic equipment specifically designed to take repeated abuse. The title, I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, comes from the 1950s blues ballad by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins that was immortalized in the mid-1960s by North Carolina-born singer, Nina Simone. By combining elements of Native American, African American, and southern cultures with music, sport, and politics, Gibson engages the complex and intertwined histories of North America.

Join Chief Curator, @mnormanprice as he takes us through one of the many remarkable works featured in the exhibition Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene. Les Mécaniques I-III by French photographer and filmmaker @noemiegoudal . The photograph captivates viewers through its use of mirrors and fragmented reflections of nature, creating a sense of wonder and introspection.🪞
This exhibition invites us to reflect on how human activity has profoundly impacted our fragile yet resilient planet. Featuring works by 45 artists from around the globe, the show is organized into four thematic sections: Reconfiguring Nature, Toxic Sublime, Inhumane Geographies, and Envisioning Tomorrow. Through photography, these sections explore topics ranging from historical catastrophes to the climatological disasters caused by our carbon footprint. Each piece offers a unique perspective on the irreversible consequences of human actions, challenging us to reimagine our relationship with the Earth.🌏
Ps. If you look closely, you can see broken fragments on the ground. How can we understand the significance of this?
Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, The Trustees of Reservations, Lincoln, Massachusetts. The exhibition is curated by Jessica May, Executive Director of Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, and Marshall N. Price, Chief Curator and Nancy A. Nasher and David J.
