This exhibition explores the innumerable histories of New Mexico’s lands and peoples. Honoring the multitude of communities, voices, cultures, and experiences that have shaped the state, and subsequently its place within the American narrative, the works presented here examine everything from intimate daily encounters to the grand, festive, and historical. Including work by renowned New Mexican artists including Fritz Scholder, Emmi Whitehorse, Miguel Gandert, Janet Lippencott, and Luis Jimenez, the exhibition will celebrate the depth of the New Mexico Museum of Art’s collection.
