The group exhibition "Stretching the Canvas: Ten Decades of Native Painting" includes work by Dyani White Hawk. The show features more than 50 works by 46 artists and explores how Native artists challenged perceptions of what constituted art and what Native art could and should look like. It tells how American Indian art expanded after World War I, as painters like Fred Kabotie, Tonita Peña, and Stephen Mopope advocated for themselves, and how later generations including Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Kay WalkingStick, Jeffrey Gibson, and Dyani White Hawk further embraced a wide range of approaches. Over ten decades, the artists demonstrated the breadth, complexity, and continuing expansion of Native self-expression.
