A new exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut seeks to challenge stereotypes about Indian art.
�No Reservations: Native American History and Culture in Contemporary Art" opened this week and runs through February 2007. It features the works of ten artists, four of whom are Native.
Marie Watt, who is Seneca, created a project from more than 1,000 blankets. Rigo 23, a Portuguese-born artist, recreated the prison cell of American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier.
As part of the exhibition, the Aldrich is hosting a museum within a museum named Tate Wikikuwa, Peltier's Indian name.
