UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The HUB-Robeson Galleries exhibitions, “Reunion” by Cannupa Hanska Luger, and “Unknown Forest” by Avani Patel can be viewed in the HUB Gallery and Art Alley.
‘Reunion’
“Reunion” by New Mexico-based contemporary artist, Cannupa Hanska Luger, is an immersive, multi-disciplinary exhibition featuring sculpture, regalia, and digital media. The selection of works presented in this iteration makes up a spectrum of possibilities and sheds light on historical truths to tell a narrative of complexity in the act of survival. The reception for “Reunion” is on Friday, Oct. 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the HUB Gallery.
All the works in this exhibition embody the celebration of food, shelter, and tools. They pay attention to gratitude for resources and technology while dreaming of remembering reverence for more than human kinship.
Luger is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold and is Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Lakota. Luger combines critical cultural analysis with dedication and respect for the diverse materials, environments, and communities he engages in. His bold visual storytelling presents new ways of seeing our collective humanity while foregrounding an Indigenous worldview.
“Reunion” will be on view until March 4, 2025.
