Under All Is the Land: Native Sovereignty, Past, Present, Future is a curated exhibition of contemporary Native American art presented for Garden State Art Weekend, April 18th – 19th.
At a moment when the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the exhibition offers an expanded perspective—centering Indigenous understandings of land not as mere property, but as a living system of relationships grounded in responsibility, reciprocity, and care.
Across diverse practices and nations, the 24 artists in Under All Is the Land illuminate ways of knowing land that are enduring and deeply relevant: land as relative rather than resource, as presence rather than backdrop. These perspectives open space for reflection on how we inhabit place, how we define belonging, and how we might imagine more sustainable and ethical futures.
Rather than revisiting the past alone, the exhibition brings forward Indigenous frameworks that continue to shape the present and guide the future—inviting viewers into a more relational understanding of the world beneath and around them.
