At Frieze New York and Beyond, Indigenous Artists Are in the Spotlight

At Frieze New York and other concurrent exhibitions, Indigenous artists Sara Flores, Suzanne Kite, and Seba Calfuqueo are presenting works that challenge and expand traditional definitions of Indigenous art. Their pieces are on view in New York, Venice, and beyond, marking a significant moment for contemporary Indigenous voices in the global art scene.

This spotlight matters because it signals a shift in the art world’s engagement with Indigenous practices—moving beyond stereotypical or historical frameworks to recognize these artists as contemporary practitioners working across media and concepts. Their inclusion at major events like Frieze New York and the Venice Biennale reflects growing institutional and market interest in Indigenous perspectives, reshaping how such art is understood and valued.
