Smoke in Our Hair: Native Memory and Unsettled Time explores the nuanced layers of the past, present, and future within contemporary art by Native American, Alaska Native, First Nations, and Métis artists. In exploring interrelationships of memory and Indigenous understandings of time, the exhibition brings renewed focus to the artists' practices in regard to intentionality, design, and materiality.
