Material Girls

6 - 21 December 2024
Overview

First Art, in collaboration with Feheley Fine Arts, is proud to present an exhibition celebrating the woven works of Northwest Coast and Alaska Native women artists. This collection reexamines the historical undervaluation of these works, often labeled as "craft" rather than "art" and highlights the extraordinary skill, cultural heritage, and innovative techniques they embody.

Spanning diverse tribes, nations, and regions, the exhibition invites us to explore the profound connections between these artworks, the natural world, and the artists' traditions—challenging conventional definitions of art and fostering a more inclusive appreciation of their significance.
