Yorkshire Sculpture Park Unveils
Hold to This Earth: Works by Contemporary Indigenous North American Artists from Tia Collection.
Presented in collaboration with Tia Collection, Hold to This Earth is a landmark exhibition of contemporary Indigenous North American art on a scale never seen before in the UK. Bringing together 67 works by 38 artists, and including three significant new commissions, it also marks the first group exhibition staged in YSP’s prestigious Underground Gallery in its 20-year history.
Spanning sculpture, film, photography, painting, ceramics and fibre art, Hold to This Earth is an expansive cross-generational exhibition that offers a rare insight into the broad spectrum of work being produced by Indigenous North American artists today. The unifying theme connecting their diverse practices is the deep, complex and enduring relationship between people and land. Set within 500-acres of historic parkland shaped by centuries of human and non-human activity, YSP is well placed to hold conversations about land, material, memory and community.
Representing over 35 Tribal Nations and multiple generations, established and internationally renowned practitioners are seen alongside emerging voices. They reference and honour ancestral knowledge whilst being steadfastly contemporary, asserting a powerful presence and countering narratives of erasure that too often position Indigenous cultures only in terms of the past.
Hold to This Earth features the work of DC Allen, Neal Ambrose-Smith, Teresa Baker, Raven Chacon, Melissa Cody, Yatika Starr Fields, Nicholas Galanin, Jeffrey Gibson, Raven Halfmoon, Bob Haozous, Sheldon Harvey, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, Allan Houser, Zig Jackson, Sayo’:kla Kindness-Williams, Brad Kahlhamer, Sonya Kelliher- Combs, Matthew Kirk, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Dakota Mace, George Morrison, Michael Namingha, Virgil Ortiz, Mikayla Patton, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Wendy Red Star, Eric-Paul Riege, Cara Romero, Diego Romero, Rose B. Simpson, Roxanne Swentzell, Tyrrell Tapaha, Maggie Thompson, Zoë Urness, Kay WalkingStick, Marie Watt, Dyani White Hawk, and Emmi Whitehorse.
