Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation celebrates the enduring cultures and creative achievements of over 60 US-based Anishinaabe artists. These artists represent a continuation of Anishinaabe creativity, which has been ongoing for centuries. One of the largest presentations of contemporary Native American art in the Midwest and the first major Native American exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 30 years, this exhibition challenges perceptions about what Native American art can be, how it should be seen, and how it can be interpreted.
