July 02, 2025 until August 17, 2025In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, San Ildefonso Pueblo remained largely isolated from the American mainstream through much of the 19th century. In this setting, pottery served a primarily utilitarian and ceremonial role—deeply embedded in the daily lives and spiritual traditions of the Tewa-speaking people. But by the end of the 1800s, this small village began a transformation—one that would eventually place it at the very heart of a Native American artistic renaissance.
