I want to introduce you to Andrea Carlson. She’s a citizen of the Grand Portage Ojibwe, and is a painter & screen printer based in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, though currently lives in Chicago Illinois. She received her bachelor of arts at the University of Minnesota in 2003 and an MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2005.I think what makes Andrea so interesting is her ability to address the relationships of Indigenous artists and museums. She recognizes and addresses the historic problems that institutions like museums with their colonial roots and their detrimental effects on Indigenous people, but also how Indigenous artists are now taking control of the narrative and reshaping the art landscape. She also talks about the concept of Indigenous Futurism, which I find so absolutely incredible.You can find a link to her current works and representation at Bockley Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Link: http://www.bockleygallery.com/artist_carlson/index.html
