We are thrilled to share a preview of our upcoming Fall 2023 exhibitions:

Véxoa: We Know, curated by Naine Terena for the Pinacoteca de São Paulo—and traveling to TUAG as its only North American presentation—brings together the work of Indigenous artists of Brazil to explore the histories and political power of contemporary Brazilian art. Guest co-curated at TUAG by Claudia Mattos Avolese, Senior Lecturer, Visual and Material Studies, SMFA at Tufts, the exhibition features 22 artists and collectives working in a range of media, from film and photography to sculpture and mural painting, including new commissions debuting at Tufts. Véxoa: We Know, will be on view at Aidekman Arts Center / Medford, September 7–December 10, 2023.

Double Arrows—invoking the dynamic image of a line with arrow points at both ends—is Elizabeth James-Perry’s visually evocative concept of acknowledging our shared space and human interdependencies with the natural world. James-Perry is an enrolled member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head–Aquinnah, and a lifelong traditional artist, scientist, and illustrator. The exhibition will include textured weavings in subtle colors and unique jewelry incorporating local sustainable plant materials, as well as contributions from an expanded community of artists, including Tanya Crane, Erin Genia, Jonathan James-Perry, and Patricia James-Perry. Double Arrows will be on view at SMFA at Tufts / Boston September 5–November 12, 2023.
