Culture Nerds explores the work of multimedia artist Marie Watt for our November gathering. As a member of the Seneca Nation (one of six Indigenous nations that form the Haudenosaunee Confederacy) with German-Scots ancestry, she tells stories that draw from both Native and non-Native traditions: Greco-Roman myth, pop music and Pop art, Indigenous oral narratives, Star Wars and Star Trek. Over the course of her career, Watt has told these stories through prints. The collaborative printmaking process is consistent with Watt’s desire to build communities through art and storytelling. This exhibition showcases over 60 prints, sculptures, and textiles that highlight the artist’s career from 1996 to the present.
