Please join us for this FREE event as we celebrate the work of photographer Ryan Moreno Si'al (Tohono O'odham). We will be celebrating his current exhibition Phantasm, on display in the Amerind Art Gallery through November 30, 2025. Ryan will give an artist talk at 11:00.
Ryan Moreno Si’al is an emerging visual artist from the Tohono O’odham Nation whose
unique perspective evokes phantasmic echoes of time and space. Through light and careful
consideration of spatial approaches, he explores the environments people both create and
destroy. He thoughtfully delves into settings with a sense of emptiness and abandonment
holding space for the viewer’s own reflections.
Ryan invites his viewers to engage with his work to find personal interpretations of the images
that hold stories from the past and potentialities for the future. Rooted in his cultural and
personal experiences, Ryan’s artistic perspective reflects his view of the world. Growing up
between Chuk-Son (Tucson) and the Tohono O’odham Nation, Ryan draws from his
influences from films and music to create his art, oftentimes reflecting on the relationship
between humans and the natural world.
The series “Phantasm” speaks to stories of past lives left untold. The images provoke the
imagination and invite one to contemplate what was, what is now, and what is possible in
crafting the future together.
Currently, Ryan continues his artistic journey in Tucson, AZ. His work can be found at Ryanmoreno.art.
