O’ Powa O’ Meng: The Art and Legacy of Jody Folwell
A potter from Kha’p’o Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico), Jody Folwell has revolutionized Pueblo pottery—and Native art more broadly—over the past five decades. While pushing the boundaries of form, content, and design—becoming the first Pueblo artist to place personal, political and social narratives on her pottery—she has remained while remaining firmly within the art traditions of her community.
This exhibition, “O’ Powa O’ Meng” (“I came here, I got here, I’m still going”), was organized by Mia and the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia. These iconic works span the breadth of Folwell’s groundbreaking career, demonstrating the arc of her artistic development and integrating a trailblazing Native American artist within the wider canon of contemporary American art.
