🔥Thank you James and Ella @tbcontemporary and everyone that joined for the opening weekend reception for the new exhibition, Ever-Changing Nations.🔥
As the United States commemorates its 250th anniversary, this curation looks at an expanded history of our country through the lens of Indigenous creation, storytelling and expression. Massive thank you to Tish, Leslie, Carlos, Wren, Eduardo, Morgan, Anna & Ted! #indigenous #art ##trottabonocontemporary #virgilortiz MadeInNativeAmerica®️
The story unfolds in Santa Monica this Saturday—we hope you’ll join us.
“Ever-Changing Nations” opening reception this Saturday February 28, 6-8pm.
The exhibition presents a sharp, visually compelling reconsideration of the dominant historical narratives of the nation. The exhibition reframes the language of commemoration through counter-history, satire, and the enduring power of Indigenous representation. Rather than treating 1776 as a fixed point of origin, “Ever-Changing Nations” presents it as a contested beginning - shaped by displacement, resistance, and survivance that continue to define the present.
