Reinstalling Art of Native America: Three Perspectives

Explore Dream Catcher by Marie Watt (Seneca Nation), featured in the exhibition Art of Native America.

In the second day of the Annual Textile Conservation Colloquium, explore Dream Catcher by interdisciplinary artist Marie Watt (Seneca Nation), a featured work in the exhibition Art of Native America: The Charles and Valerie Diker Collection. Learn about the artist’s process—drawn from history, memory, Iroquois/Haudenosaunee protofeminism, and Indigenous teachings—and the intent and interpretation behind the installation at The Met.

This colloquium is made possible by the generous support of the Lenore G. Tawney Foundation.
