Indigenous Artists

Best of the best Anti-racist Art Teachers

Aboriginal: inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times or from before the arrival of colonists.

Artists have many layered identities and art educators need to present them as such.  
Representing diverse artists in your curriculum is only part of an Anti-Bias, Anti-Racist curriculum.  It needs to be more than a symbolic effort and art educators need to take into account intersectionality when introducing these artists to students.  How do aspects of an artists’ social and political identities (ex. gender, sex, race, class, sexuality, religion, ability, physical appearance, etc.) intersect within their work?   
In addition, we recognize that race is socially constructed and it is impossible to put humans in clearly defined categories by race. Racial identity is deeply personal, and artists within any given subgroup define themselves differently. Race, ethnicity, and nationality are all factors artist’s individually consider as their personal identity. However, as mentioned previously that is not all that there is to their identity. We know that artists have many layered identities and art educators need to do the research to present them as such. These groupings are not perfect, as humans are not meant to be divided into boxes. We hope this resource can help art educators identify who is missing from their curriculum in order to create a curriculum more representative of the incredible diversity among students and artists today.

Terminology 

Aboriginal Peoples: The collective noun used in the Constitution Act 1982 and includes the Indian (or First Nations), Inuit and Metis Peoples so legally it will always have a place at the terminology table.

First Nation(s): First Nation is a term used to identify Indigenous peoples of Canada who are neither Métis nor Inuit. 

Indigenous: ethnic groups who are the original or earliest known inhabitants of an area, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently.

Inuit: Indigenous people in northern Canada, living mainly in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, northern Quebec and Labrador. Ontario has a very small Inuit population. 

Métis Peoples: people of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry. The Métis National Council adopted the following definition of “Métis” in 2002: “Métis” means a person who self-identifies as Métis, is distinct from other Aboriginal peoples, is of historic Métis Nation Ancestry and who is accepted by the Métis Nation.

Native: An outdated collective term referring to Indians (Status, Non-status, Treaty), Métis, and Inuit but has largely been replaced by Indigenous. While some First Nations individuals refer to themselves as “Native” that doesn’t give non-Indigenous people license to do so.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Announces Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols

A rare gathering of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s most iconic works come together in Miami for the first time, generously loaned from the Kenneth C. Griffin Collection. Opening June 25, 2026.

(MIAMI, FL — March 29, 2026) — Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to announce Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols, an exhibition bringing together nearly a dozen works by Jean-Michel Basquiat—uniting some of the artist’s most recognizable paintings under one roof for the first time. Opening June 25, 2026, as Miami hosts visitors from around the world for the FIFA World Cup, the exhibition draws on works from the collection of Kenneth C. Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel and a longstanding PAMM supporter, with the support of Griffin Catalyst, his civic engagement initiative. Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols is co-curated by Sandra and Tony Tamer Director Franklin Sirmans and Kenneth C. Griffin Collection Curator Megan Kincaid.

Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols marks among the most significant presentations to date of the late artist’s work. Across nine paintings and one sculpture—a rarely discussed aspect of Basquiat’s practice—this exhibition concentrates on the artist’s implementation of classic themes such as portraiture and the figure, script and language, and his conceptual amplification of color, form, and composition.

“As Miami prepares to welcome a global audience for the FIFA World Cup, Pérez Art Museum Miami offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience visual art from across the Americas,” said Kenneth C. Griffin. “I am proud to partner with PAMM to present some of the greatest works by one of America’s most iconic artists, Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose art has a unique power to connect across communities and generations.”

While Basquiat’s work has gained extraordinary visibility in the marketplace and has permeated popular culture across fashion, film, music, and more, Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols offers an opportunity to deepen the conversation around the artist’s technical and conceptual contributions. The exhibition will also include a video of the artist speaking about his work, offering visitors a direct window into Basquiat’s voice and self-understanding.

Exhibition highlights include Untitled (1982), a standout example of Basquiat’s long and deep engagement with the human head—his most persistent anatomical motif; In Italian (1983), one of the artist’s richly layered compositions, operating simultaneously as portrait, study, linguistic puzzle, and autobiographical document that reflects his engagement with the Italian Renaissance tradition of anatomical investigation; Pez Dispenser (1984), a painting of the iconic candy dispenser that extends Pop Art’s elevation of consumer goods—void of clean lines and mechanical reproduction, rendered instead with nostalgic affection and irony; and Untitled (Tenant) (1982), in which a distorted, skeletal figure recalls German Expressionist depictions of bodies strained by the weight of the world, surrounded by statistics that transform the figure into a charged conveyor of the elements.

Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols also provides an entry point for looking at and engaging with themes of race, class, religion, and world history that Basquiat investigated in his work. Born to a Puerto Rican mother and Haitian father in Brooklyn, New York, the artist’s Caribbean background deeply influenced his understanding and expressions of the world around him—a perspective that is intimately connected to Miami and its diasporic communities. This unparalleled presentation in Miami encourages a reflection on the interplay of these forces within the context of South Florida.

Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols marks the latest chapter in Sandra and Tony Tamer Director Franklin Sirmans’ history with the late artist, building on PAMM’s 2016 showcase of Basquiat’s notebooks and smaller works. Sirmans first encountered Basquiat as a young New Yorker, resonating with the artist’s intellectual and poetic depth and ability to speak to a generation shaped by hip-hop and graffiti culture. Across scholarly pursuits and curatorial projects that include the seminal 2005 traveling show Basquiat at the Brooklyn Museum and the artist’s first retrospective in 1992 at The Whitney Museum of American Art, Sirmans has been central to the posthumous rise in popularity and visibility of one of today’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

“At PAMM, this exhibition feels both inevitable and vital. Miami’s layered histories, diasporic communities, and global outlook create a context where Basquiat’s visual language—rooted in memory, migration, and cultural hybridity—can be experienced with particular depth and immediacy,” said Franklin Sirmans, Sandra and Tony Tamer director at PAMM. “This is a compelling moment to revisit Jean-Michel Basquiat not as a market phenomenon or pop icon, but as a rigorous, self-taught master of painting and form. By bringing together works that are rarely seen in depth, we’re inviting audiences to slow down, to look closely, and to encounter a new way of understanding an artist whose name is universally known but whose complexity still demands deeper study.” “By bringing these works together, audiences will see how Basquiat constructs meaning—layering references, symbols, and language in ways that forge connections and gain in complexity,” said Megan Kincaid, Kenneth C. Griffin Collection curator. “The works move between art history and contemporary culture, using humor and critique to reflect on mythmaking, socio-historical forces, and power—ultimately inviting viewers to look closely, sensemake, and think together.”

Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols centers the museum experience: close looking, sustained time, and the rare opportunity to see works that are often encountered only as reproductions, headlines, or cultural shorthand.

Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols is organized by Sandra and Tony Tamer Director Franklin Sirmans and Kenneth C. Griffin Collection Curator Dr. Megan Kincaid, with the support of Jaimie Ludwig, Executive Assistant, Director’s Office. The exhibition is made possible with generous philanthropic support from Griffin Catalyst.

La edición 2025 de Untitled Art, Miami Beach reafirma su lugar como una de las ferias más dinámicas y conceptualmente frescas del circuito internacional. Celebrada del 3 al 7 de diciembre, con un preview el día 2, la feria vuelve a desplegarse sobre la arena de Miami Beach, consolidando una experiencia única donde el arte contemporáneo dialoga directamente con el paisaje.

Con la participación de 157 galerías, la feria logra un equilibrio notable entre propuestas emergentes y espacios consolidados. En la sección principal Galleries, destacan nombres como Bitforms Gallery, The Hole, Yossi Milo y Library Street Collective, cuyas presentaciones refuerzan la calidad curatorial y la diversidad estética del evento.

Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de esta edición es la renovación de la sección Nest, concebida como un espacio de experimentación y descubrimiento. Galerías como Hidrante e IRL Gallery aportan propuestas frescas que amplían el alcance conceptual de la feria, mientras que la inclusión de nuevos participantes —como Meliksetian | Briggs o Soho Revue— evidencia un compromiso real con la expansión del ecosistema artístico.

Más allá de su lista de expositores, lo que distingue a Untitled Art es su constante voluntad de redefinir el formato de feria. Bajo la dirección de Clara Andrade Pereira, el evento continúa apostando por programas curatoriales innovadores, incluyendo una ampliación del Guest Curators Program, que aporta nuevas perspectivas y discursos críticos al recorrido.

El resultado es una feria que no solo presenta arte, sino que construye contexto: un espacio donde el descubrimiento no es incidental, sino estructural. Untitled Art 2025 no busca simplemente exhibir, sino activar conexiones —entre artistas, galerías, coleccionistas y público— demostrando que el futuro de las ferias de arte reside en su capacidad de evolucionar.

En un ecosistema cada vez más competitivo, Untitled Art, Miami Beach se posiciona, una vez más, como un referente de riesgo curatorial, sensibilidad contemporánea y apertura hacia nuevas voces.

Marcel Duchamp Retrospective at MoMA

April 12 – August 22, 2026 | Museum of Modern Art, New York

Rethinking the Question: What Is Art?

“Why is this art?”—a question that continues to unsettle audiences—finds its most radical articulation in the work of Marcel Duchamp. The 2026 retrospective at MoMA is not merely an exhibition; it is a philosophical reconstruction of modern art’s foundations. Bringing together approximately 300 works, this marks the first major North American survey of Duchamp since 1973, offering a long-overdue reassessment of an artist whose influence permeates contemporary practice.

Duchamp’s legacy is not stylistic but conceptual. His early painting, Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2), fractured the human form into motion, destabilizing perception at the 1913 Armory Show. Yet it is his invention of the readymade—epitomized by Fountain—that irreversibly shifted authorship from craftsmanship to choice. In this gesture, Duchamp dismantled centuries of aesthetic hierarchy, proposing that the act of selection itself could constitute art.

The exhibition’s strength lies in its comprehensive scope: from the enigmatic The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) to the intimate Box in a Valise, Duchamp’s “portable museum.” These works reveal an artist committed to contradiction, resisting coherence as a strategy of intellectual freedom.

Curated by leading figures from MoMA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, the retrospective situates Duchamp not as a historical figure, but as an active force. His work continues to define the conditions under which art can exist.

In this sense, the exhibition does not answer the question “Why is this art?”—it reveals that the question itself is Duchamp’s most enduring artwork.

Oolite Arts launches Oolite Arts Conversations with Antoni Miralda indialogue with César Trasobares and Stephan Palmié

Oolite Arts is pleased to inaugurate Oolite Arts Conversations, a new public series that convenes artists, curators, museum professionals, and cultural thinkers in rigorous and lively dialogue.

The inaugural event, on May 7, 2026, opens the series with an evening devoted to Antoni Miralda, the internationally renowned artist whose practice has, since the 1960s, transformed food into a powerful artistic, social, and political medium.

Bringing together art, anthropology, and civic history, the conversation will place Miralda in dialogue with César E. Trasobares, artist, curator, and a key architect of Miami’s public art infrastructure and policy framework, and Stephan Palmié, anthropologist and Norman & Edna Freehling Professor of Anthropology and Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. Together, they will examine Miralda’s singular impact on Miami and beyond, tracing the ways food, ritual, and collective participation have shaped his work and its enduring cultural resonance.

Through their respective practices and perspectives, Miralda, Trasobares, and Palmié will explore Miami as both laboratory and crossroads, a city where artistic experimentation, cultural translation, and public life converge. In doing so, the event will inaugurate Oolite Arts Conversations by enacting the very values at the heart of the series—a sustained commitment to contemporary art as a critical framework for understanding the social world.

About the SpeakersBorn in Terrassa, Barcelona, in 1942, Antoni Miralda first established his practice in Paris before relocating to New York in 1972, and has since maintained an active presence between Miami and Barcelona. From his early Happenings with the “Paris Catalans”—collective rituals centered on ceremonial food, color, and symbolism—to his large-scale installations and research-driven projects, Miralda’s work unfolds through a vibrant, baroque, and nonconformist language that brings art directly into the social fabric of everyday life.

Miami has been a crucial site in Miralda’s career since 1981, when he was invited as a guest artist for the New World Festival of the Arts, with interventions at Coral Castle, Vizcaya, the Bass Museum, and the Lowe Art Museum. In 1992, together with chef and longtime collaborator Montse Guillén, he established a base on Española Way, initiating a sustained period of engagement with the city as a site of experimentation that included Big Fish Mayaimi on the Miami River (1996–1999) and a major exhibition at the Miami Art Museum in 1998. Since 2000, his ongoing FoodCulturaMuseum, anchored in both Miami and Barcelona, has functioned as an evolving archive that examines food diversity as a lens through which to understand cultures across the world.

Among Miralda’s landmark projects is Honeymoon Project (1986/1992), a multi-site international undertaking staging the symbolic marriage between the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Columbus Monument in Barcelona, an incisive deconstruction of Old World/New World relations through ritual, food, and collective celebration. His work has been presented at major international platforms, including documenta VI, the 17th São Paulo Biennial, and the 44th Venice Biennale. In 2018, he received Spain’s prestigiousVelázquez Prize for Visual Arts.

César E. Trasobares’ career bridges studio practice, cultural policy, and civic infrastructure. As Executive Director of Metro-Dade County’s Art in Public Places Program (1985–1990), Trasobares oversaw landmark commissions by artists including Ed Ruscha, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Nam June Paik, and Betye Saar—projects that helped define Miami’s public art landscape. A longtime collaborator on Miralda’s Miami initiatives, Trasobares brings a deeply informed perspective on the artist’s formative role within the city’s cultural life.

Stephan Palmié’s scholarship on Afro-Caribbean cultures, foodways, slavery, migration, and constructions of race and ethnicity provides a critical framework for understanding the historical and symbolic dimensions of Miralda’s practice. His collaboration with Miralda on Maggi Galaxy, a multidisciplinary project exploring the aesthetics and politics of the Maggi bouillon cube, underscores the rich intersections between artistic production and anthropological inquiry that the evening’s dialogue will bring into focus.

The event will be followed by a reception and book signing of Miralda and Stephan Palmié’s Maggi Galaxy, which will be available for purchase at the event in collaboration with EXILE Projects.

When: May 7, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Where: Proscenium Theatre, Little Haiti Cultural Complex212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137

How to Write an Artist Statement (2026 Edition)

A Curatorial and Critical Approach

In 2026, the artist statement is no longer a simple descriptive text—it is a strategic, conceptual, and curatorial tool that positions your work within contemporary discourse. Far from being a formality, it operates as a bridge between your practice and multiple audiences: curators, collectors, institutions, and the broader cultural field.

An artist statement is not about explaining your work exhaustively, but about articulating a framework of thought. As suggested in contemporary art writing pedagogy, effective statements function as interpretive guides rather than didactic explanations, enabling the viewer to enter the work without closing its meaning (Elkins, What Happened to Art Criticism?).

At its core, the artist statement should address three essential dimensions:
What you do, how you do it, and why it matters.

Clarity is fundamental. Avoid excessive jargon or “artspeak,” which often alienates rather than communicates. Research in art education emphasizes that accessible language fosters broader engagement without diminishing conceptual rigor (Barrett, Criticizing Art).

Structure remains key: a concise introduction, a reflection on process and medium, and a closing that situates your work within a larger conceptual or cultural context.

Writing is iterative. No statement emerges complete in its first draft; it is refined through revision, reflection, and critical feedback.

In an era shaped by artificial intelligence, many tools can assist in drafting text. However, not all AI systems are capable of understanding the nuances of artistic practice. Ultimately, the most meaningful artist statements are those shaped through dialogue—often with a curator or art critic—who can situate your work within a broader intellectual and cultural framework.

Saladrigas Gallery at Belen Jesuit

The Olga M. and Carlos A. Saladrigas Gallery at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School proudly announces the opening of The Light of the World, a Christ-centered art exhibition exploring the depiction of Jesus Christ across centuries and cultures. The exhibition will be on view from March 12 through May 6, 2026.

A Journey Through Sacred Art

For nearly two thousand years, artists have interpreted the figure of Jesus Christ—shaping some of history’s most profound and visually stunning masterpieces. The Light of the World invites visitors to experience this rich tradition, featuring paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the 16th century to today. The exhibition brings together Russian icons, Renaissance works, paintings from the Cuzco School, late 19th- and early 20th-century Latin American art, and contemporary works by local and international artists—including icons created as prayers in the 21st century.

Curated by Carol Damian, Ph.D., and Adriana Herrera, Ph.D., the exhibition offers an immersive journey through the story of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of artists from Europe, Russia, South America, and the United States.
