'Mashkawiziiwag' exhibit to open at Watermark
BEMIDJI -- An exhibit by Ne-Dah-Ness Rose Greene entitled "Mashkawiziiwag" or "They Are Strong," will be available online as virtual exhibit starting Saturday, Dec. 19, on the Watermark Art Center website.
"Greene is an emerging Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) photography artist from the Leech Lake Nation, her powerful images reveal the unscripted poetry of the human world," a release said. "Her portraits reveal the complexities of the human spirit and celebrate the strength of survival. Through her work one sees the pride of ancestors and a future and hope for the future."
Due to the extension of the governor's executive order restricting gallery exhibitions, the opening of the in-person exhibit has been postponed. However, the exhibit will be available at WatermarkArtCenter.org and the center is open to the public with expanded retail space.
