“I want to see the integration and beauty of Northeast Native expression in every art institution on the east coast. Not in small subsections and historical glass cases, but in the same large scale collections we see represented by other movements and contemporary aesthetics. Awareness is not enough, care, relationships and accountability are required.”
–Brooke Waldron, Curator
