Indians 101: Algonquin artist Jason Elliot Clark's Free Land (museum exhibition 1 & 2) [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The Missoula Art Museum (MAM) in Missoula, Montana had an exhibition of the works of Algonquin descendent Jason Elliot Clark. Clark’s prints were displayed on 7 walls in MAM’s Lynda M. Frost Gallery of Contemporary Native Art.

According to MAM:

“Drawing from his family’s Algonquin heritage and personal experiences, Clark’s work challenges stereotypes of Native culture, blending personal narratives with traditional legends. His large-scale installation, Free Land, exemplifies his expertise in monotype, using stencils, ghost prints, and vibrant color fades to examine the erosion of Indigenous lands through legislation such as the Homestead and Dawes Acts. Featuring 160 prints of species impacted by land development, Free Land critiques historical injustices while envisioning a restored, thriving ecosystem.”
