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鈥橩eeffe in Northern New Mexico.
While Georgia O鈥橩eeffe 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鈥橩eeffe narrative back in Tewa Country.
The exhibition brings O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 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鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 own presence in New Mexico.
