This workshop is part of Forbidden: Native Languages, Tattoos, Ceremony, a solo exhibition by contemporary digital artist Tom Myer.
EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Across the Americas, the historical expansion of colonial powers was marked by a systemic effort to displace Indigenous peoples and dismantle their cultural heritage. From the suppression of native languages and sacred ceremonies to the prohibition of traditional hair and tattoos, these actions were designed to erase Indigenous identities.
NoBo Art District is proud to stand against that erasure by presenting a new showcase by contemporary digital artist Tom Myer.
ARTIST BIO
As an artist of Cayuga and Ngäbe-Buglé descent, Myer creates digital works that celebrate the strength and innovation of contemporary Indigenous identity. Born in Panama to a Cayuga father and Ngäbe-Buglé mother, Tom Myer’s early years were rooted in his heritage through his maternal grandmother. However, life in European-dominated spaces eventually forced him to mask his identity in pursuit of an acceptance that remained perpetually out of reach. After a long career in the high-tech industry, Tom reclaimed his voice through digital art. Now, at age 50, he is navigating the profound journey of relearning his native languages. He resides in Boulder with his wife and their two dogs.
