Autry National Center to Present Groundbreaking Exhibition
about
How Women Shaped the West Across Cultures and Times
Home Lands: 
How Women Made the West

On View April 16 through August 22, 2010

Los Angeles (February 10 2010) — The Autry National Center has organized Home Lands: How Women Made the West, a major exhibition celebrating the enduring spirit of the diverse women of the West. On view at the Autry April 16 to August 22, 2010, Home Lands ventures beyond popular perceptions of the West as an empty wilderness where men struggled against nature to transform the land to offer a rich and real portrait of the West that is in large part unfamiliar. This dynamic re-thinking of the history of the West challenges stereotypes of women’s roles through the stories of the Native American women who first made their homes in the region as well as the women, from many different cultures, who have migrated to the West for hundreds of years.

“The Autry is proud to organize and present Home Lands,” said John Gray, President and CEO of the Autry National Center . “It is our mission to explore the experience of the diverse people of the American West and this provocative exhibition conveys how women have shaped the Western landscape through choices about how to sustain home, family, and community.”

“The Autry is proud to organize and present Home Lands,” said John Gray, President and CEO of the Autry National Center . “It is our mission to explore the experience of the diverse people of the American West and this provocative exhibition conveys how women have shaped the Western landscape through choices about how to sustain home, family, and community.”

Three Regions
Home Lands examines the regions of Northern New Mexico, the Colorado Front Range, and Puget Sound , exploring women’s homes, habitats and environs over centuries and within many different cultures and communities.

Women Artists
Each section of the exhibition features the work of renowned female visual artists from the 19th century to the present day, including Pueblo potter Maria Martinez (1881-1980), painter Pablita Velarde (1918-2006); painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986); photographer Laura Gilpin (1891-1979); painter Henrietta Bromwell (1859-1946); painter Eve Drewelowe (1899-1989); painter Elizabeth Warhanik (1880-1968); and photographer Virna Haffer (1899-1974).

In addition to Aki Sogabe, the contemporary artists featured in the exhibition are New Mexican santero maker Gloria Lopez Cordova; Santa Clara Pueblo artists Tammy Garcia and Nora Noranjo Morse; Colorado-based painter Elizabeth Elting; Coastal Salish sculptor Susan Point; and poet and playwright Joy Harjo, who has been commissioned to create a video work especially for Home Lands that is inspired by a historic narrative of slavery and interracial marriage in 19th century New Mexico.
