Contemporary Indigenous artists from the Pacific Northwest are shaking up the American Museum of Natural History’s Northwest Coast Hall with a bold new exhibition. 'Shaping the Future Through Tradition' blends documentary films, music, animation, and even tattoo art, all rooted in heritage but pulsing with modern energy. The show, curated by Michael Bourquin (Tāłtān/Gitxsan), spotlights how these creators honor their ancestors while pushing boundaries—like music performed entirely in endangered languages and digital installations that challenge how we see space. It’s a powerful reminder that tradition isn’t static. How do you see the balance between honoring the past and creating something new? #Entertainment #Painting #IndigenousArt
