The Cara Romero Gallery invites you to a group exhibition; New Mythos. A groundbreaking group exhibition featuring eight Indigenous artists whose interdisciplinary practices weave together personal narratives and cultural landscapes through photography, mixed media, and contemporary art forms. Opening August 14 with a celebration featuring over 300 guests and Native cuisine by Cleo's Blue Corn Kitchen, the exhibition will remain on view for five weeks.
The participating artists, Shelley Niro, Kent Monkman, Cara Romero, Jeremy Dennis, Leah Mata Fragua, Diego Romero, Bonny Melendez, and Robert King—represent diverse Indigenous communities across the Americas, with four artists working primarily in photographic arts. Together, they create what curator describes as "a kaleidoscope of human ideas and experiences about how we relate to our ancestors and our future."
"New Mythos" presents intimate stories that navigate the complex terrain of Indigenous identity through themes of mythos, language, love, loss, diaspora, genocide, and colonization. The artists explore these profound subjects through shared dreamscapes, creating unexpected spiritual and psychological connections that speak across individual works and cultural boundaries. Viewers encounter works that challenge, comfort, and provoke deep reflection on ancestry, cultural continuity, and the future of Indigenous communities. Co-Curated by Cara Romero and Jaime Herrell.
