Storytelling (Re)Collected at Saratoga Arts

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Saratoga Arts and Ndakinna Education Center have collaborated to create an interdisciplinary exhibition experience in the Dee Sarno Theater that will inspire questions about how history and stories are recorded, and learning about history through all different genres of art affects the way in which we communicate with each other. 

Opening Night is 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, June 1 at the theater, located at Saratoga Arts, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Exhibition Dates: June 2 – Aug. 24.

To accurately reflect the diversity of our regional indigenous cultures, this exhibition includes both historical and contemporary work made with traditional Abenaki methods incorporating sound, language and storytelling.

The works on display showcase Ndakinna’s commitment to keeping Indigenous history alive, as well as how the things we make create relevancy and meaning regarding identity, inspire new narratives and bring into sharp focus the under-told or sometimes inaccurate stories of native and indigenous peoples of the northeastern United States.

Summer exhibitions are created primarily to inform our programmatic work for K-12 summer camps, adult classes, special events and collaborative programming with other organizations like Ndakinna Education Center.
