We Each Hold Stories
November 7 – May 2
This exhibition is a broad survey of the work being created by established and emerging Indigenous American artists today. The exhibit explores themes of personal experience, family, history, community, and contemporary issues. The exhibiting artists approach these topics with directness and humor with many using traditional elements and techniques. Observing changes in society and political views, the one constant is that the artists represented in the exhibition hold firmly to their individual cultures.
“From Indigenous communities across the United States, these artists define a new line in the historical continuum of Native identity, offering reinterpreted concepts and forms rooted in a storytelling tradition. Their work addresses land, identity, and visual culture, embodying vibrant contemporary practices that weave together personal and collective histories.
Through repurposed materials and reimagined symbols, they explore interpretations of human behavior—how we treat one another, how we interact with the land. Their sensibilities carry the potential for healing, bridging past and present, and offering new ways of seeing, understanding, and remembering.”

Teresa Baker: Somewhere Between Earth and Sky
Sep 5, 2025 – Feb 8, 2026
Teresa Baker (b. 1985, Watford City, North Dakota) is an artist living and working in Los Angeles, CA, and an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes in the Great Plains. The most comprehensive presentation of her work to date, this solo exhibition includes paintings, bronze sculptures, woven baskets, and works on paper.
Baker is celebrated for large-scale abstract paintings on shaped pieces of artificial turf. In these unique works, she brushes and sprays on acrylic paint, and applies linear designs with natural and synthetic fiber yarns. She also incorporates materials like willow, buffalo and deer hide, tree bark, corn husks, and natural and artificial sinew into her compositions. These dynamic and colorful works often resemble vast landscapes, inviting viewers to imagine prairie vistas and bird’s-eye views of grasslands. Drawing from her Native American Mandan/Hidatsa heritage, Baker’s singular vision of shape, color, and texture reveals abstraction’s narrative capacities. Through her work, Baker invigorates and expands European and American modern painting histories, offering a visionary approach to abstraction.
Teresa Baker: Somewhere Between Earth and Sky is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Dean Daderko, Ferring Foundation Chief Curator, with support from Grace Early, Exhibitions Assistant.
