Join us at Sky Cinemas in the Railyard to learn from the curators, artists, and collaborators who created the Museum’s newest exhibition, Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country. Consisting of a series of mini panel discussions, each conversation will shed light on how the project took shape and how collaborators engaged with themes like belonging and identity while developing the exhibition.

About Tewa Nangeh/ Tewa Country:

Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country honors Tewa people, art, culture, and landscapes, while drawing awareness to the erasure of the Tewa presence from the story of Georgia O’Keeffe in Northern New Mexico. Co-curated by artist Jason Garcia (Santa Clara Pueblo) and Bess Murphy, Luce Curator of Art and Social Practice at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the exhibition features artists, scholars, and culture bearers from the six Tewa Pueblos of Northern New Mexico: Nambé, Ohkay Owingeh, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, and Tesuque.

While Georgia O’Keeffe frequently claimed ownership of Northern New Mexico, this land has been the continuous home of these six Tewa Pueblos from time immemorial to the present. Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country resituates the O’Keeffe narrative back in Tewa Country.

The exhibition brings O’Keeffe’s art and personal objects into dialogue with newly created artworks by contemporary Tewa artists to highlight themes of sacred spaces, belonging, identity, and ownership. Through storytelling and cultural exchange, the project will create a platform for learning about the past, present, and future of Tewa land, and the complexities of O’Keeffe’s own presence in New Mexico.

This event is free to attend. Please register in advance, as space is limited. Please email contact@gokm.orfg or call 505-496-1000 for assistance with event registration.
