Presented by the Center for Native Futures, the only all-Native artist-led arts non-profit organization in Chicago, Gagizhibaajiwan considers depth, duality, and paradox in Anishinaabe art as expressed through images of Misshepezhieu, the Underwater Panther, and Animikii, the Thunderbird. The exhibition features the work of four Anishinaabe artists: interdisciplinary artist Marcella Ernest (Gunflint Lake Ojibwe/Bad River Band of Lake Superior), sculptor Michael Belmore (Anishinaabe from Lac Saul First Nation), weaver Renee Dillard (Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians), and painter Zoey Wood-Salomon (Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory). Gagizhibaajiwan is curated by Lois Taylor Biggs (Cherokee Nation/White Earth Ojibwe) with curatorial mentorship by Kalyn Fay Barnoski (Cherokee Nation/Muscogee Creek).
