Description

This work was a major collaborative art museum exhibit between the New Museum of Los Gatos, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Jose State University. The exhibit demonstrates the vitality of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, featuring photographic portraits of tribal members produced by renowned photographer Kike Arnal. The project, which included several SJSU graduate students, was developed to promote a deeper understanding of local indigenous art, culture, history, and contemporary issues in the greater Bay Area, and to share knowledge with the public about the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe's continuing struggle to reclaim federal recognition.
