An Indigenous Present, with Jeffrey Gibson and Jenelle Porter

As part of the 2023 LA Art Book Fair Classroom programing, Jeffrey Gibson and and Jenelle Porter discuss An Indigenous Present. This landmark book is a gathering of more than 60 Native North American contemporary artists, musicians, filmmakers, choreographers, architects, writers, photographers, designers, and more, showcasing diverse approaches to Indigenous concepts, forms, and mediums. Conceived by Gibson, a renowned artist of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee descent, and co-edited by independent curator Porter, An Indigenous Present documents an increasingly visible and expanding field of Indigenous creative practice, foregrounding transculturalism over affiliation and contemporaneity over outmoded categories. Present by Delmonico Books. Part of LAABF: The Classroom. Find more at pmabf.org!
