The article discusses the upcoming performance of intertribal Native American dancers and singers from Oklahoma and Colorado in Venice, Italy, as part of the Venice Biennale. The performance will inaugurate the exhibition in the United States Pavilion, showcasing the art of Jeffrey Gibson, a queer Choctaw and Cherokee artist. Gibson's work aims to interweave a Native American narrative with other histories of struggle and freedom, and his selection as the first Native artist to represent the U.S. with a solo exhibition in the 94 years of the country's pavilion is a significant milestone. The article also delves into Gibson's personal background, artistic process, and the broader context of Indigenous art in mainstream institutions. Gibson's art is described as a joyful revolt against fixed categories and a celebration of multifaceted identities.
