Diné artist Eric-Paul Riege presents [*ojo|-|ólǫ́*](https://bit.ly/45X8u1I?ref=hyperallergic.com) at [the Bell Gallery at Brown University](https://bit.ly/4mBltNN?ref=hyperallergic.com), a major institutional exhibition that brings together Riege’s textile, sculpture, collage, video, and performance practices. Drawing from customary Diné practices of silversmithing, beading, and weaving, Riege (born 1994, Na’nízhoozhí \[Gallup, New Mexico\]) produces monumental mixed-media works that reference Diné mythology, the history of settler trading posts in the Navajo Nation, and “authenticity” as a value marker of Indigenous art and craft. 

For *ojo|-|ólǫ́ ,* Riege has produced a new body of sculptures in conversation with Navajo blankets, silver jewelry, and dolls from two anthropological collections: Brown’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, and the University of Washington’s Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. Comprised of many varied works, from large-scale jewelry and tools to weavings made from unexpected materials, this exhibition embraces infidelity to colonial archives while celebrating ancestral traditions of labor contained within Indigenous-made objects. Live performances throughout the exhibition invite caring yet critical interrogations of the ways Indigeneity is represented in museums and universities. Unfolding within and across university museums, *ojo|-|ólǫ́* aims to illuminate the histories of power and knowledge production embedded in these institutions. 

The show will be on view at The Bell in Providence, Rhode Island, through December 7 before travelling to the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington from March 15 through August 30, 2026\.
