Art Through Struggle Gallery in We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story – The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center's newest indoor mural project is by NSRGNTS, two Indigenous artists based in Albuquerque. NSRGNTS is Leah Povi Marie Lewis (Laguna, Taos, Zuni Pueblos/Hopi/Diné) and Votan Henriquez (Maya/Nahua). Leah and Votan are becoming well known for their unique anime-inspired style of mural painting in vivid colors. Their artwork for IPCC will focus on Pueblo empowerment of past, present, and future. The mural will place emphasis on Po’pay as a Pueblo role model and a figure of strength. The space will invite storytelling and teaching for all ages, through the mural’s approachable style that will be accessible even for our youngest audiences and community members. The reception is scheduled for the evening of Friday, June 28, from 5-7pm. The exhibition will be on view from June 28, 2024 through June 1, 2025.

“Sage Mountainflower: House of Fashion” showcases the artist’s contemporary clothing designs inspired by visual patterns and textures of her home and her experiences in the fashion world from the Pueblos to Paris. Mountainflower (Ohkay Owingeh/Taos Pueblo/Diné) brings together layered narratives of community and cultural landscapes in her wearable art forms that share stories of the land with audiences. The exhibit will be on view in the Artists Circle Gallery from March 15 through July 13, 2025.
