Echoes of the Land: Entangled Nations.
An Installation by Del Curfman & Jesus Miguel Avena.
“This work is not just a memorial to oppression but a living testament to endurance.” Through shared materials and visual storytelling, Avena and Curfman offer a cross-border dialogue between Indigenous nations—one that asserts sovereignty, complexity, and a future beyond stereotype.
About the Installation.
Echoes of the Land: Entangled Nations is a collaborative, mixed media installation by artists Jesus Miguel Avena (Mexican American, Mestizo, Chicano) and Del Curfman (Crow Tribe of Montana). Rooted in personal experience and collective memory, this work reframes and resists the overlapping stereotypes, colonial narratives, and cultural simplifications imposed on Native and Mestizo communities in the U.S. and Mexico.
