The El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA) invites the community to the opening of a new exhibit, Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. TODAY, July 28.

“Exposure” is an exhibition of contemporary art that documents responses from international Indigenous artists to the impacts of nuclear testing and accidents, and uranium mining on Native peoples and the environment.

The traveling exhibition gives a voice for artists to address the long-term effects of these man-made disasters on Indigenous communities in the United States and around the world.

“The El Paso Museum of Art is committed to presenting authentic cultural expressions from diverse communities,” said El Paso Museum of Art Director Edward Hayes Jr. “We are proud to host “Exposure,” an exhibition that speaks to the power of collective reflection and healing through art from across three continents, including neighboring indigenous communities in the Southwest U.S.”

Indigenous artists from Australia, Canada, Greenland, Japan, Pacific Islands, and the United States utilize tribal knowledge, traditions and contemporary art forms to inform their thought-provoking artworks that are highlighted in the exhibit.

Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology is organized by The Institute of American Indian Arts Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Santa Fe, NM. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Ford Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and by Air Tahiti Nui. Additional support is provided by the Mellon Foundation, the Texas Commission on the Arts, El Paso Museum of Art Foundation, and the El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department.
