Margeaux Abeyta at Ma’s House
| From Ma’s House: Margeaux Abeyta will discuss her work on the Reclamation project, an ongoing project in which she collects fragments of earth from tribes across the United States, along with the tribal members’ stories and personal connections to their homelands. This project aims to gather and document Indigenous land along with the geological and social reality that is innately tied to indigenous people. The work deals with issues of ownership, cultural preservation, and environmental Justice. Where soil becomes an abstraction of identity, with the means to reclaim the lands and culture before it too is gone. RSVP Required, open to the public! Please join us in welcoming July resident artist Margeaux Abeyta! Margaeux is a Taos Pueblo and Diné multimedia artist, currently traveling and working between Europe and the United States. She studied sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Arts before finishing her BFA in communication at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Her practice has evolved from traditional woodworking into digital fabrication, sound, and technology design. In more recent works she explores narrative truths through globalist systems and traditional human values, as she is working on a large-scale Geopolitical sculpture surrounding the issue of land ownership and tribal sovereignty. She continually explores how we reinvent and determine our realities through our systems of governance and communication. RSVP here. |
