Every year, RedLine hosts exhibitions within a social justice-focused Exhibition Program. Our 2022-2023 Exhibition Program is titled Roots Radical: An Exploration into Indigenous Ancestry and Experience.

Roots Radical explores the dislocation of Indigenous identities from Indigenous persons, and how perceptions of Indigeneity are often formed by dominant or white-supremacist narratives and perceptions vs. the realities and experiences of thriving, living cultures.

Roots Radical supports Native-led organizations and artists, and the deeper exploration of our communities’ collective ancestry and Indigenous histories.
