Dimensions of Indigenous is the 2nd annual exhibition, featuring Indigenous visual artists whose work demonstrates involvement in and knowledge of decolonization, building cultural identity and resisting further colonization of any kind.

We define indigenous as anyone who identifies with being indigenous to their homeland and acknowledges that colonization occurred in their homeland.

Featuring:

Joel Martinez,  Indigenous Chiapanecan photographer who migrated to the city as a young boy and later in life learned photography as a way to express himself and his culture and to show the resistance of his people to poverty and militarization.

Oscar Arredondo, "Welcome to Cleveland", a series of 18 framed prints dealing with issues of stereotyping Native Americans and other racial groups.

Missy Whiteman, music video “Indigenous Holocaust”, featuring the work of hip hop artist Wahwahtay Benais.
