Three Sisters and Grandmother Moon by Robert Peters
A reception for a collection of contemporary indigenous art currently on display in the Senate Chambers of the Massachusetts State House will be held on Wednesday, January 25th, from 1-3 PM at the State House. The installation “We Are Still Here” was curated by Mashpee Wampanoag Artist Robert Peters and features the work of Natasha Frye; Nelson Andrews, Jr.; and Robert Peters. All three artists are members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. The reception is open to tribal members, friends, and family.
Peters hopes by placing the work at the State House, legislators will have a deeper understanding of the issues facing indigenous people in the region. “The contemporary art of Wampanoag artists reflects and makes a note of the continuum of our culture, ideas, ideals, and spirituality,” said Peters.
The exhibition and reception are being sponsored by Senator Susan Moran.
