Indigenous Freeways: Southwest Wildstyle from North to South
2026-05-13 | NM
Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. Based in the Southwest region, Arrowsoul Art Collective creates graffiti walls and mural paintings inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation. Located in the Art Through Struggle Gallery, their newest mural will be on display through June 28, 2026.
Free for museum members, or with admission.
