Bring Her Home: Stolen Daughters of Turtle Island

In light of the local movement to stop sexual exploitation and the international #MMIW awareness campaign, Bring Her Home shares visual stories of the impacted women. Rather than reduce the issue to a statistic, curator, Angela Two Stars, challenges us to honor the life of each indigenous woman as we would a sister, a wife, a mother, a best friend, a cousin, or a daughter.

 

Original works by 18 visual artists from across the United States and many tribal nations.

 

Featuring new work from Shan Goshorn, Luzene Hill, Laura Youngbird, Kayeri Akweks, Hillary Kempenich, Chholing Taha, Cara Romero, and more.
