This interactive exhibition celebrates the central role that Pueblo Baseball has played and continues to play in many community members’ lives at the 19 Pueblos. It tells stories of Pueblo Baseball in looking at the past, present, and future through interviews, photographs, videos, and memorabilia. Critical skills in athletics, judgment, adaptation, and perception as pitchers, batters, runners, catchers, and umpires are passed down through the generations. Pueblo Baseball games carry on a legacy more than 100+ years old with male team members from 15-55 years old playing together at once.
In creating a space for Pueblo communities to be in dialogue with each other about this century-old tradition, the exhibition serves as an introduction to the ways that Pueblo Baseball shapes Pueblo identities and reflects Pueblo value systems to all audiences. A Community Scrapbook Board will facilitate a space where Pueblo community members can contribute their stories and photographs. During the run of the exhibition, the IPCC will be offering a Baseball Card making activity to school groups. The IPCC team will also be coordinating a panel discussion program with Pueblo Baseball players.
"A Tenuous Thread" is a retrospective encompassing five decades of creative output by master weaver Bhakti Ziek. Arranged chronologically, the retrospective charts the evolution of Ziek's pioneering approach to weaving alongside a historical survey of textile craft that raises questions about cultural appropriation that can be traced back to the late Byzantine plot to steal silk production from China's Tang Dynasty.
The retrospective features works from Ziek's storied weaving career, from her humble beginnings as a student of textiles in South America to her prominent career in academia and beyond. Samplers, tapestries, and mounted textile works imbued with personal symbols, motifs, and text from Ziek's life illustrate the inextricable link between the artist's weaving practice and lived experience. Ziek demonstrates this link with live, in-gallery weaving demonstrations on her floor loom every Thursday and Saturday following the exhibition’s opening on 23 February 2023.
A selection of works by Ziek's pupils-turned-colleagues, including Tali Weinberg, Jovencio de la Paz, Anastatia Spicer, Susie Taylor & Ann Morton, accompany Ziek's oeuvre and establish a figurative and material dialogue that evokes the mindful knowledge sharing essential to textile craft and innovation.
Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Raven Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work.
This refocusing on female leadership asserts Indigenous women as both keepers of memory and creators of culture. When presented in unison, these works resound the suppressed histories and present-day stories of Native resistance in the face of systemic power.
