Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country
November 7, 2025–September 7, 2026
Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe
The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum announces the opening of Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country on November 7, 2025. The first-of-its-kind exhibition at the Museum is co-curated by Bess Murphy, Luce curator of art and social practice, and artist Jason Garcia/Okuu Pín (Kha‘p‘o Owingeh / Santa Clara Pueblo).
Featuring more than thirty newly created works by twelve artists, scholars, and culture bearers from the six Tewa Pueblos in New Mexico—Nambé, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, and Tesuque—Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country opens a critical dialogue around sacred landscapes, Indigenous belonging, and cultural ownership.
Three Museum galleries will be transformed with a dynamic array of traditional pottery, sculptural installations, a monumental earthen mural, paintings, screen prints, drawings, and video. Over the course of its ten-month run, Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country will shift and evolve, with selections of the exhibition recreated, reflecting the living, breathing nature of the culture it honors.
