Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories at Michener Art Museum

Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories
September 9, 2023 – January 14, 2024
James A. Michener Art Museum

Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories considers the power of art to construct and dismantle inaccurate Indigenous histories through a dynamic display of contemporary art by Lenape (also called Delaware) artists in dialogue with historic Lenape ceramics, beadwork, and other cultural objects and representations of Penn’s Treaty by European American artists. The exhibition features recent and newly commissioned work by Ahchipaptunhe (Delaware Tribe of Indians and Cherokee), Joe Baker (Delaware Tribe of Indians), Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation and Cherokee), and Nathan Young (Delaware Tribe of Indians, Pawnee, and Kiowa) that express personal and tribal identity and address the Lenape’s violent displacement from Lenapehoking, the Lenape homeland which encompasses the region where the Michener Art Museum currently stands. Through a focus on Lenape art and culture and a critical examination of historical visualizations of Native and European American relationships, Never Broken demonstrates the ways in which art can create, challenge, and rewrite history. 

Never Broken is curated by Joe Baker, co-founder and executive director of Lenape Center in Manhattan, and Laura Turner Igoe, chief curator at the Michener Art Museum.  

Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories is one in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program.

This exhibition was supported by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.

UPTURNED FLOWER THAT TRAVELS, HOLLY WILSON AT THE VOLLAND STORE

UPTURNED FLOWER THAT TRAVELS, HOLLY WILSON AT THE VOLLAND STORE

The Volland Store presents:
November 6. 2021 – December 5 2021
The Volland Store, 24098 Volland Road, Alma, KS

Narrative is central to my work. I am interested in stories—the stories of my parents, my ancestors, my family, my community. I am a storyteller; through my work, I weave together the threads of these various narratives to create a tapestry that tells stories that are sacred and precious, personal and universal, powerful and at times volatile. Telling them brings to life things sometimes kept secret, hidden, and not permitted to be said because they challenge the status quo or reveal realities that neither side wants said.  -Holly Wilson

Opening Weekend Programming

Saturday, November 6 – The artist will explain her process, using examples of the various stages of bronze casting.  In the Blacksmith Shop at The Volland Store, 2 pm.

Sunday, November 7 – Artist remarks followed by conversation. In the gallery at 2 pm.

A selection of Wilson’s sterling silver jewelry, echoing the exhibition’s themes, will be available for sale during the exhibit.

Free admission. Refreshments will be served.
For your protection, and the safety of others, masks are required inside the gallery.
