Local Art in the Big City: Contemporary Anishinaabe Exhibit at DIA
Stuff We Love
Sept. 27, 2025
On Sept. 28, the Detroit Institute of Arts debuts a new exhibit that runs through April 5, 2026, featuring more than 90 works from over 60 Native American artists from across the Great Lakes region. Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation will display “basketry, beadwork, birchbark artistry, clothing, film, graphic design, jewelry, painting, pottery, sculpture, and woodwork,” according to the DIA website. Each of the works will be presented in both English and Anishnaabemowin. We wanted to share congratulations to three Harbor Springs artists whose work will appear in this collection: Eva Oldman, Odeimin Gèsis Walker-Keshick, and Yvonne M. Walker Keshick! Their works made of fabric, birchbark, porcupine quills, sweetgrass, and other materials illustrate connection to the land and water, indigenous teachings, and the reimagining of ancient cultural items.
