SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Roots"
DESCRIPTION:Join All My Relations Arts and NACDI Thursday\, October 8th 
 as we present\, "Roots\," a juried group exhibition.\n\nPart of a new ju
 ried series\, "Roots" showcases Native artistic voices from across the r
 egions of Turtle Island\, highlighting and celebrating language\, storyt
 elling\, culture and heritage. This series aims to shed light on how the
  Western colonial construct of borders was designed to divide Native nat
 ions and perpetuate cultural divisions through the systematic removal of
  Indigenous peoples from their ancestral homelands. By bridging communit
 ies and challenging these systems of separation\, this exhibit seeks to 
 explore how art can facilitate healing these ruptures.\n\n"Roots" is an 
 assertion that connections to our land\, our ancestors\, and our traditi
 ons are deep rooted and go beyond simply the place that we occupy. Those
  connections are the embodiment of where we belong\, ebbed in who we are
 \, and hold the significance of who we will become. Through photography\
 , sculpture\, installation\, painting\, textile work and illustration\, 
 the artists in "Roots" share works through their individual lens that in
 terpret the concept of our roots and how we are tethered in connection.\
 n\nThe first iteration focuses on the Midwest region and showcases emerg
 ing and seasoned Native artists\, as well as first-time exhibitors from 
 across tribal nations. Whether still residing in the Midwest or having t
 ribal connections to it\, these artists remind us of the foundations tha
 t ground us\, of the tendrils that unite us to tradition\, and of our fu
 ture pathways.\n\nFree and open to the public. Light snacks and refreshm
 ents will be provided.\n\nFeatured artists: Abby Sunde\, Autumn Cavender
 \, Carrie Bunker\, Chelsea Bighorn\, Crystal Drake\, Delia Touché\, Jan
 ae Grass\, Madelyn Churchill\, Meg O’Sheaheimer\, Nipinet Landsem\, Ta
 mara Aupaumut\, and Wish Garbow\n\nProgram Dates: On view: October 8th\,
  2026 - December 12th\, 2026 Opening reception: Thursday\, October 8th\,
  6-8pmAdditional programming can be found on our website as announced.
