I Refuse to Be Invisible

The exhibition explores invisibility through the lens of contemporary African American and Native art. A mixed media work by Njideka Akunyili Crosby inspired the exhibition theme and title. Two other works by African American artists Kerry James Marshall and Glenn Ligon are presented alongside work from Indigenous artists from the collections of the Missoula Art Museum and the Yellowstone Art Museum.
“I Refuse to be Invisible” seeks to encourage dialogue about the relationship between African American and Indigenous people through juxtaposition of the work, voices of artists and the community, and programming tailored to intergenerational families.
