Virgil Ortiz | ReVOlution! Rise of an Indigenous Future
Virgil Ortiz | ReVOlution! Rise of an Indigenous Future
Ever heard of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt? Probably not. Virgil Ortiz illuminates how he combines clay and sci-fi to educate globally about Pueblo history using art traverses into the future. Blending age-old traditional methods with contemporary clay techniques; coil, scrape, and slab building processes, focusing on bust building and carving methods. Using visual storytelling, attendees will learn about the central cast of characters from Ortiz's screenplay Revolt 1680/2180 and how they shape the fantastical world he's creating with clay and multi-media art.
Virgil Ortiz aligns, unites, and collaborates with the next generation. Pueblo people have survived persecution, marginalization, and erasure over the past few centuries, yet we are still here. We persevere. More importantly, we have endured. I see art as the gateway to the future. It is as influential as our language and our Pueblo ways of life. Art saves lives.
