Jeffrey Gibson is a multidisciplinary artist and craftsperson who merges traditional Native American materials and forms with those of Western contemporary art to create a new hybrid visual vocabulary that has been described as “Indigenous Futurism.” Winner of a 2019 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, Gibson is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent. His pieces range from garments and sculptural objects to paintings and video, and often involve intricately detailed and technically demanding handwork using materials such as beads, metal jingles, fringe, and elk hide.
Sky Hopinka, winner of a 2022 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, is a filmmaker, video artist, and photographer developing new forms of cinema that center the perspectives of Indigenous people. A member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and a descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, Hopinka layers imagery, sound, and text to create short and feature-length films that explore both Indigenous histories and contemporary experiences. His work has been screened at the Sundance and Toronto International Film Festivals, and at the Whitney Museum of American Art, among numerous other festivals and venues.
Rachel Martin is a Tlingit artist of the Tsaagweidei, Killer Whale Clan, of the Yellow Cedar House ( Xaai Hit’) Eagle Moiety. In her work, she focuses on themes of Indigenous sovereignty and tribal identity through images of traditional lifeways, matriarchal figures, landscapes and sea creatures with humorous undertones and layered symbolism. Some of her artworks delve into the harms wrought by colonization, while others consider connections between the human/animal/spirit worlds. Her work has been exhibited across North America, and is included in the permanent collection of the Forge Project, a Native-led initiative centered on Indigenous art, based in Taghkanic, NY.

A young man inherits his grandmother's house and, with the encouragement of his girlfriend, turns it into a Black socialist collective where community forms the basis of family.
Ephraim Aisli is the writer-director of THE INHERITANCE (2020), an astonishing ensemble work set almost entirely within a West Philadelphia house where a community of young, Black artists and activists form a socialist collective. The film is based on his own experiences as a former member of a Black liberationist group. Director of the Film and Electronic Arts Program at Bard College, and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow, Asili was named as one of "25 New Faces of Independent Film" by Filmmaker magazine in 2020. In July 2022, he directed the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2023 Men’s Fashion Show in Paris.

During the course of Well/Being: An Exhibition on Healing and Repair, Emily Daggett Smith will perform a series of informal solo violin concerts. Audience members will be free to explore the exhibition or listen from socially distanced seats.
Smith will premiere a commissioned solo violin piece entitled Amid a Place of Stone. Composed by Andrea Casarrubios, the piece is a reflection on time spent in isolation at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the composer’s words: “This work, conceived during the 2020 pandemic and the ensuing crisis in the performing arts, combines nocturne and passacaglia elements, and traverses a range of phases within the subjects of isolation, vulnerability, and survival.” In addition, Smith will perform Jessie Montgomery’s Rhapsody No. 1 (2014), Kaija Saariaho’s Nocturne (1995), and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Ciaccona from the Partita No. 2 in D minor (1718–20).
Co-sponsored by the UAlbany Performing Arts Center.

Then, through movement, improvisation, and imagination prompts, participants will traverse the space and artwork finding agency, fluidity, and curiosity along the way.
