The Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson, whose ancestors were among the Native Americans forcibly displaced by the federal government, this year became the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale. The significance is not lost on Gibson—one of the pieces he showed was an exuberant beaded bust festooned with a pin that read “treat me right.” Gibson’s interdisciplinary practice transcends categorization. He fuses the artistic traditions of his heritage with the language of contemporary queer culture. The exhibition “They Teach Love” offers a sweeping survey of Gibson’s work. At the center is an immersive piece titled To Name Another. It consists of over 100 screen-printed elk-hide drums and wearable garments. —Nyla Gilstrap
