About the exhibition

Gagizhibaajiwan, on display through December 14, 2024, features four Anishinaabe artists – Marcella Ernest (Gunflint Lake Ojibwe/Bad River Band of Lake Superior), Michael Belmore (Anishinaabe from Lac Seul First Nation), Renee Wasson Dillard (Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians), and Zoey Wood-Salomon (Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory) – who move through these layers in story and art, evoking Anishinaabe teachings on duality, ambiguity, and balance.

Gagizhibaajiwan is curated by Lois Taylor Biggs (Cherokee Nation/White Earth Ojibwe) with curatorial mentorship from Kalyn Fay Barnoski (Cherokee Nation/Muscogee). 

This exhibition is generously supported by the Design Museum of Chicago, the Luce Foundation, and Art Design Chicago a Terra Foundation for American Art initiative.
