About This Tool

The Native Americans and their art have long been ignored, “it’s as if we don’t exist. ”. In a recent shift, “it’s hoped that a dedicated museum will join forces to collect Native Americans art. ”

The random tool generator will bring together some 57 works by Native American artists, including sculpture, photography, textiles, and decorative arts, to explore the artistic achievements of this group in breaking down gender barriers. Native American art was not recognized until the 20th century, and the art world’s initial focus on aboriginal art was limited to hide paintings and woodcarvings made by Indian men, textiles and flowerpots made by female tribesmen are often regarded as handicrafts. Some works of art, even if included in museums, are labeled “anonymous artists” by scholars.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of Native American women artists.
