Speaker
Rachel Martin
Martin is a Tlingít visual artist based in New York and is creative director and co-curator of the Gochman Family Collection. Her artistic practice explores the intersections of contemporary and traditional Indigenous worldviews, addressing identity, culture, and representation. Her work itself functions as a form of curating, as she assembles and examines personal memories along with modern figures and traditional Northwest coast iconography. Martin’s dual role as an artist and curator allows her to actively shape new perspectives on the ever-changing role of an artist. Photo by Patrick Buckley
