Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers

Installation view of “Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers,” 2026.

108 E San Antonio St, Marfa, TX 79843, United States

Raven Halfmoon, a member of the Caddo Nation, makes colossal glazed stoneware sculptures. Her palette is deliberate: red after the Oklahoma soil and the blood of murdered Indigenous women, black that refers to the natural clay native to the Red River. Halfmoon’s forms draw on Caddo pottery traditions: the colossal Olmec stone heads, the Moai of Easter Island, and the earth mounds her Caddo ancestors built as temples and residences for tribal leaders. Stacked, totemic, monumental. Ballroom Marfa is presenting Halfmoon’s first major traveling exhibition. —Elena Clavarino
