“Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” Programs Draw Over 1,000 Visitors
November 14, 2024
Galloway, N.J. – An exhibition unlike any other in the Stockton University Art Gallery will officially close its doors on Sunday, Nov. 17.
In celebration of the conversations on Indigenous identity that it sparked and the programming that welcomed over 1,000 community members both inside and outside of Stockton to campus, the team behind “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” hosted a closing reception on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
The evening began with students presenting the artwork they created in the exhibition’s associated workshops. Pieces included painted gourds from artist Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto’s course, bandanas that were colored with natural dyes and screen-prints of turtles and trees.
Shortly before his performance of a traditional honor song, Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis of the Lenapehoking Revitalization Project (LRP) expressed gratitude for being a part of “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures’” programming on behalf of the project’s youth program, which visited the campus to perform traditional dances for Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 15 and participated in some of the associated art workshops.
The photos the youth program took during one of the workshops are currently on display in the gallery, and, according to Ellis, “They lit up seeing their artwork on the wall, and they now have this new fire and passion for art.”
