PETER WILLIAMS: TRADITIONS INNOVATION

An exhibition of garments, artwork, objects and film that highlights the lifestyle and creation of Alaska Native and environmental-based art by Peter Williams. Rooted in Yup’ik ways of knowing and being, and guided by tradition and a respect, his practice has evolved organically into contemporary media that advocates for the rights of Alaska Natives to live a traditional lifestyle in the present day, exemplifying reciprocity between the human and natural worlds to ensure that both will be around for future generations.
