Opening Reception:
Friday, March 22, 7-9pm

“Colab is pleased to present “Indigenous Technology,” an exhibition featuring New York-based artists COCO 144, Shie Moreno, and Christian Mendoza. “Indigenous Technology” celebrates a systematic practice among the artists that is continually evolving in the writing and painting of their name. The evolution of this practive has transformed into “Indigenous Technology” a modern language and system of communication with branches of knowledge dealing with life, the environment, spirituality and the sciences.

The “Indigenous Technology” exhibit presents unique vantage points to examine the relationship these artists have with their communities and ancestral lineages. A shared response to sacred exchanges informs a new movement. As a collective, a ceremony through visual arts is formed, transcribing cultural traditions and everyday practices are its common motifs.”
