Indigenous art shines a new light on the Pueblo Revolt

 A look inside the projection room at the Virgil Ortiz Revolt 1680/2180: Runners + Gliders exhibit at History Colorado. The symbol on the floor is meant to act like a portal, transporting visitors to the futuristic world.

Indigenous art is often only viewed as a relic, a historical work of the past. But that’s not the case – their art and their people are present today. One Cochiti Pueblo artist showcases that concept in his latest exhibit.

Emma VandenEinde of the Mountain West News Bureau takes us inside to witness his futuristic work. She also takes us to an Indigenous Comic Con Festival that reflects on history and culture.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
