A Pueblo answer to the work and renown of artist Georgia O’Keefe

Paintings of the northern New Mexico landscape by the renowned Georgia O’Keefe are among the most recognizable and beloved works of art in history.

So much so that the distinctive mesas, bluffs and plateaus are sometimes referred to as O’Keefe Country. But the land has always been home to Pueblo people that have deep cultural ties to those same iconic landscapes.

A new exhibition at the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in Santa Fe turns to a handful of Tewa Pueblo artists to offer their interpretations of the landscape and O’Keefe’s inescapable connection to it. Tune in to hear from the curators and artists behind the Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country exhibition in New Mexico’s capital city.
