Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969

SITE Santa Fe will present 'Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969' from June 5 to September 7, 2026. Curated by Candice Hopkins, the exhibition is the first major show to position performance as a foundational origin point for contemporary Native art, tracing artistic experimentation from the late 1960s—a period of political activism and Indigenous self-determination. It features over 100 works by more than 40 artists and collectives across film, video, sculpture, painting, drawing, beadwork, and archival materials, with a performance view from Spiderwoman Theater's 'Lysistrata Numbah!' included.
