Native American Prison Art Curation During COVID-19

In October 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor Blu Wakpa curated an art show at the request of the Native American Council of Tribes, a non-profit founded and run by Native people who are/were imprisoned at the South Dakota State Penitentiary. This entirely online exhibition features their drawings, beadwork, and writing.
