Ledger artist Chris Pappan, Osage/Kaw/Cheyenne River Sioux, presented new work at IAIA’s Museum of Contemporary Native Arts with his “Account Past Due: Ledger Art & Beyond” exhibit.
His statement coincides with similar feelings from other Native artists—It is time to express a positive aura about our own bodies, they all seem to be saying. That it is all quite healthy and normal, with no cause for shame.
