To Take Shape and Meaning brings together a wide range of Indigenous world views, ideas, experiences, traditions, cultures, and media and emphasizes the continuity and evolution of Native arts, both collective and individual expressions of Native America. The exhibition, composed exclusively of 3-D artworks, includes baskets made of blown glass, cars transformed into works of art, and cutting-edge fashion ensembles embellished with elaborate beadwork and feathers. This project supports the NCMA's ongoing goal of presenting expansive and inclusive art historical narratives in all aspects of the Museum and of bringing in contemporary artists whose works focus on themes that are particularly relevant to the concerns of the current moment." -- Director's Foreword / Valerie Hillings -- Acknowledgments / Nancy Strickland Fields and Linda Johnson Dougherty -- Lenders to the exhibition -- To Take Shape and Meaning / Nancy Strickland Fields -- Of an Artist / Rose B.
