“We Carry the Land” is an architectural exploration of space, time, and form born from an alignment of varied Indigenous foundational ways of being, designed and installed by Materials & Applications (M&A) in the Craft Contemporary Courtyard. Rooted in the sacredness of the natural world and informed by experiences of territorial geographic relocation, the project presents a spatial identity of what it means to be a part of the Indigenous diaspora; grounded, yet simultaneously flexible.
“We Carry the Land” was designed by six emerging Native architectural and graphic designers: Celina Brownotter, Anjelica S. Gallegos, Freeland Livingston, Selina Martinez, Bobby Joe Smith III, and Zoë Toledo.
