The Center for Native Futures (CfNF) will be opening their newest exhibition titled Sight of Resistance with a reception on July 12, 2025 in their space located at 56 W. Adams St. The opening reception will begin with a Native community hour from 3-4pm and will open to the public from 4-7pm. “It’s a timely exhibition that highlights what’s being made in Indian Country right now,” said Chris Pappan, CfNF cofounder and board president. “For me personally, this is what I've wanted for the gallery.” The exhibition features artwork by sixteen Native artists including: America Meredith, Andrea Carlson, Bobby Dues, Chris Pappan, Cynthia Harding, Debra Yepa-Pappan, Erin Lee Antonak, Erin Genia, George Alexander, Henry Payer, Jonathan Thunder, Julie Buffalohead, June Carpenter, Micah Wesley, Monica Rickert-Bolter, and Selena Kearney. For these artists, making art is an act of resistance. Each artist showcases this theme in their distinct, vibrant ways, which include sculptures, installations, paintings, beadwork, and more.
