“The exhibition Oh So Iroquois emphasizes the dynamism of both traditional and contemporary Iroquoian creative processes, presenting work that is deeply rooted in a cultural system of values and aesthetic qualities that permeate the social, political, spiritual, and economic infrastructure of Haudenosuanee society. Together, as members of the Iroquois Confederacy, these artists continue to affirm and re-examine this collective art history through symbolism, narrative, colour, and contemporary and traditional media. By featuring a broad range of art situated in relation to an Iroquois world-view, this exhibition aims to challenge the long-standing pan-Indian classification of Native North American art, which pigeon-holes 500 distinct nations with one generic category.” - Ryan Rice, Exhibition Curator
