A new and exciting voice in contemporary art that enriches the wider discourse on Native women artists
 
Rose B. Simpson (b. 1983), a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, is from a long lineage of women working in ceramics in her tribe, dating back hundreds of years. Her signature figures draw heavily on her ancestral Kha’po Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo) tribe’s centuries-long ceramic tradition while also integrating modern methods, materials, and processes to express bold interventions in colonial legacies of dependency, erasure, and assimilation. Published on the occasion of a large-scale commission for the Cleveland Museum of Art, this richly illustrated volume features essays that contextualize Simpson’s work in terms of the history of art, Indigenous feminisms, and Native American art in general. It also includes a moderated conversation with the artist that elucidates Simpson’s conceptual framework and practice.
