Native Fashion
Jeffrey Gibson made history in 2024 as the first Native artist to have a solo show at the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, an annual international exhibition. His work explores identity and performance through beading, painting, regalia, and sculpture. When describing his installation at the Venice Biennale, Gibson said: “I want them to see empowered people because so often, at least in my lifetime, we’ve been represented through our trauma. I want to present us as being very present, and aware, and really powerful.”
