Màatakuyma

Now it is Becoming Clearer to Me

through Apr 19, 2026

Photographer and filmmaker Duwawisioma (Victor Masayesva Jr.) has been on a lifelong quest to understand the ideas of “existence” and “being” in terms of Hopi ancestral traditions in the modern world. Màatakuyma, meaning “now it is becoming clearer to me” in the Hopi language, represents this continuing quest. Featuring images created throughout Duwawisioma’s long career, Màatakuyma highlights aspects of Hopi culture, history, language, metaphysics, and agricultural practices through complex, layered compositions and juxtapositions of color.

Makowa: The Worlds Above Us

through Aug 17, 2026

Look up. What do you see? From radio astronomy to solstice calendars, Indigenous peoples look to the sky for timing, meaning, and beauty. Makowa: The Worlds Above Us juxtaposes ways of seeing, noticing, and understanding the skies and the beings in them. Told through stories of an ever-changing world, the exhibition connects science, stories, and observations. 

For Indigenous peoples of the Southwest, observing the sky brings joy, information, and a connection to the worlds above us.
