NADA Curated by Katie A. Pfohl

Kelly Tapia-Chuning represents what the artist calls “the oldest place of assembly in art history: the spiritual ceremonial site.” Tapia-Chung deconstructs serapes—traditional Mexican blankets that predate Spanish colonization—to represent the appropriation and loss of Indigenous culture. Tapia-Chuning turns the trace patterns of warp and weft into a site of healing, placing obsidian and a circle of creosote sprigs around the site.
