00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: What's different about this exhibition of Indigenous art is that

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: it's all abstract. Co curator Janelle Porter says, it's something

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: we have not seen in recent or past exhibitions of

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Indigenous art.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: The difference is in focusing on Indigenous artists using abstraction.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: That this is that that is a lens through which

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: Indigenous artists are often not viewed. They are often categorized

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: and confined only by their heritage. We want people to

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: see this exhibition, look at art, and talk about art.

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: The exhibition is called an Indigenous Present. It's the work

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: of fifteen contemporary artists over the past hundred years. It's

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: making its debut at the ICA, and from here it

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: goes next to Nashville and then onto Seattle. Carl STEVENSBC
