With the recent news of the government of Oklahoma, from the sell-out Governor to the sold-up tourism board, doing everything in their power to erase the history and culture of the Indigenous peoples of this land, I needed a wholly cathartic afternoon that celebrated my culture, through a lens I admired and understood: pop art.
A friend recently told me about Exhibit C Native Gallery, 1 East Sheridan, Suite 100, an art gallery that primarily focuses on Indigenous works from Indigenous creators; their recent exhibit, running until the end of the month, is called the Frybread Factory: NDN Pop Art, the name a stoic nod to Andy Warhol’s New York art studio, the Factory.
