I Follow Rivers

I Follow Rivers: Indigenous Worlds in Latin America features over 100 works from more than 50 artists, exploring the profound resilience and evolving cultural landscapes of Indigenous peoples and artists throughout Latin America. The featured artists navigate history, land, community and change, each charting their own course through the cultures they carry and innovate.

The show spans the early twentieth century to the present, including newly commissioned works. Visitors will witness complex and layered practices and imagery that resist fixed categories. While these artists navigate a world shaped by colonialism, they forge new paths for themselves and their communities and affirm that Indigenous knowledge and creativity are not static. These communities are vital, transformative, and always in motion.

This is the largest exhibition in the U.S. to ever feature modern and contemporary Latin American artists who are Indigenous. This includes internationally established artists such as Claudia Alarcón, Denilson Baniwa, Edgar Calel, Seba Calfuqueo, Martín Chambi, Rosa Elena Curruchich, Venuca Evanán, Claudia Martinez Garay, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, Julia Isídrez, MAHKU (Huni Kuin Art Movement), António Pichilla, Abel Rodriguez, and Kira Xonorika.
