The North Carolina Museum of Art recently featured an exhibit curated by @ncstate public history doctoral student Nancy Strickland Fields. 👏

The exhibit, To Take Shape and Meaning: Form and Design in Contemporary American Indian Art, featured works by 75 Indigenous artists from more than 50 tribes throughout the U.S. and Canada, including eight from North Carolina.

“Through the creation and the art selected, audiences experienced a wide view of history and how history is relevant to Native people today,” says Nancy, a member of the Lumbee tribe. “The art represents traditions, beliefs and world views, and also the harsh legacies of colonialism.”
