Step into a space where the land itself speaks. The Land Remembers Us, a new body of work by Indigenous Mexican-American artist Inkpa Mani, explores how memory, identity, and spirit live within earth, stone, and pigment. Through dynamic paintings and carved stone sculptures, Inkpa invites us to see land not as backdrop, but as ancestor, witness, and keeper of belonging.

Join us for the Gallery Opening and Reception on September 25 at 4PM, followed by an artist talk at 4:30PM, where Inkpa will share the vision and stories behind the collection. Complimentary light refreshments will be served. RSVP below to reserve your place in this evening of art, reflection, and connection.

Inkpa Mani (b. 1997, St. Paul, MN) is an Indigenous Mexican-American artist whose practice explores land-based spirituality, identity, and memory through painting, stone sculpture, and installation. Raised in both Chihuahua, Mexico and the Lake Traverse Reservation of South Dakota, Inkpa is of Mexica (Aztec) and Tarahumara ancestry. His work draws from the ancestral wisdom of his people, merging Indigenous abstraction, material traditions, and contemporary aesthetics. Through the use of stone, pigment, textile, and symbolic forms, Inkpa Mani creates works that speak to the continuity of Indigenous knowledge systems and their deep relationship to land. He is especially interested in the ceremonial and everyday uses of materials—how a stone, fabric, or pigment can carry story, memory, and identity. He holds a BFA from the University of South Dakota and is currently an MFA candidate in Painting and Printmaking at the Yale School of Art, Class of 2026.
