About the Exhibit
Indian Time explores diverse interpretations of time from Indigenous perspectives, weaving together themes of cultural identity and history. The exhibition delves into the colloquial humor surrounding “cultural lateness,” cyclical understandings of time, and the ways Indigenous communities document histories and cosmogeneologies. It challenges imperialist narratives that dismiss Indigenous values as outdated or anti-science, inviting viewers to reimagine progress through an Indigenous lens.
The show also embraces critiques of capitalist time structures, offering a space for reflection and dialogue. Through a mix of visual art, storytelling, and multimedia installations, Indian Time celebrates the resilience, creativity, and wisdom of Indigenous cultures while envisioning new possibilities for the future.
Installation by Nicole Emmons at the Light Well Gallery.
culture temporalism
“Time, as understood in the dominant contemporary culture built by stolen people on top of stolen land, is rigid—measured, scheduled, and relentless in its expectations. To be “on time” is to be considered responsible, worthy, and in control. But what does it mean to be “late”? My words in, I’m Late, resists the idea that lateness is failure and instead reclaims it as another way of moving through life—a journey dictated not by clocks or calendars, but by experience, emotion, and circumstance.”
Mbwakawn by Lauren Kelly, will be featured and available for purchase at this exhibition.
