Last night’s opening of Memory and Connection on the Mother Road was incredible! Mvto to everyone who came out to support, to for hosting, to Bobbie for asking me to be a part of this amazing project, and to all of the incredible artists who shared their work and stories with us.

After working on this for the past year, it was so good to finally see it all come together and to see the space filled with so many friends, artists, and community. Mvto to the team who came out to document the night and to everyone who helped make it happen. I’m so grateful to have been a part of this project and really proud of what we created together! ❤️

So excited to see Lydia featured on OETA’s Gallery America!

Lydia created an installation for Still Sovereign: Land, Law, Memory, and the episode shares more about her work and process. It also features the exhibition and 101 Archer.

Her installation is still up as part of Still Sovereign, so come see it in person if you haven’t yet!

The episode turned out so good. ❤️

OETA’s Emmy award winning Gallery America series brings you the best in the arts from Oklahoma and around the nation.

Woohoo! #1 is Memory and Connection on the Mother Road! 🤗 I’ve been working on this with Dr. Bobbie Chew Bigby all year, and I’m so excited that it’s here! This exhibition is all of Bobbie’s incredible research, and I had the opportunity to curate and organize the artists in the exhibit and design the exhibition panels. I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow during First Friday to see it and celebrate these incredible artists and all of Bobbie’s research with me! ❤️ Four Mothers Collective will also have a table, so stop by and grab a zine and some free stickers or buttons while you’re there!

Mvto to Mvskoke Media and Katy Leard for the write up on Still Sovereign! It is up until November 21st, if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet.

“We’re here, and we’re still going to remain, and future generations are going to remain as well.” - Carly Treece

“Still Sovereign: Land, Law, Memory” explores Tribal sovereignty beyond treaties and court decisions, highlighting how it lives through language, land, culture, and community. Mvskoke artist and curator Carly Treece shares how Indigenous art can bring those stories to life. Link in the comments below! ⬇

I’m excited to share Memory and Connection on the Mother Road, an exhibition I co-curated with Dr. Bobbie Chew Bigby, NYU Tulsa lecturer, as part of her Postdoctoral research fellowship work through the University of Waterloo.

Bobbie developed the research and writing for the exhibition, exploring Indigenous memory, connection, movement, and relationships along Route 66. My role was to organize and curate the artists and artwork and design the exhibition panels, bringing the research and artwork together visually.

I’ve really enjoyed getting to work alongside Bobbie on this project and bringing together Indigenous artists whose work shares their own stories, perspectives, and connections to the Mother Road.

The exhibition opens October 2 at NYU Tulsa. We hope you’ll join us opening night to explore the exhibition and celebrate the artists with us. There will also be two film screenings as part of opening night. There will be a panel discussion on November 12.

I’m excited to finally see it all come together and share it with everyone!

I’m here in Spokane for ATALM 2026! On Wednesday, I’ll be presenting with Dr. Denise Bossy about our work on Visualizing Indigenous Florida and the importance of Indigenous artists creating our own images and telling our own stories.

Our presentation, Session 209-Visual Sovereignty as Antidote to Colonial Narratives: A New Public Art Series, is Wednesday, September 23 from 1:45–2:15 PM.

I’m excited to share more about this project and the incredible artists who have been a part of it. Hope to see some of you there!

Submit to be featured in Four Mothers Collective fall zine! https://forms.gle/ok5nEg7WgjhkDcB8A

❓Would you like to be a part of our Community Zine❓

Four Mothers Collective is accepting community submissions for our upcoming Autumn Zine - now through October 1st!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HtiYVtZd84k8_CK_ZAtciTsODETqm2VGbPsY8Ol4HS0/viewform?edit_requested=true

Our Community Zine is a space for sharing art, stories, knowledge, creativity, recommendations, and the things that bring us together. You don’t have to be a professional artist or writer to contribute.

🍂 As the season changes and the days grow shorter, we’re thinking about comfort, gathering, and the things we carry with us into the colder months. The foods we make and share, stories and knowledge passed between us, music we listen to, things we create, and the people, places, and practices that bring us comfort. 🍂

Not sure what to submit?
Think of things that bring you comfort!
Here are some ideas: a photo, poetry, recipes, handwritten notes, artwork, plant/food knowledge, stories, a doodle, memories, favorite books or music, quotes, recommendations, traditions, etc.

✨✨ We’re also introducing "Dear Auntie", a new section where you can send in a question and hear advice, wisdom, and probably a little humor from different Aunties in our community. ✨✨

🩷 Share a lot or share a little. We want this zine to feel like all of us. 🩷

We had such a fun day at the Emory University Herbarium doing some research while in Atlanta for my Roots Run Deep project, which will explore Southeastern plants and our relationships to them as citizens of our Nations through a new body of paintings, sensory elements, and collaborative art and research.

A special Mvto to Dr. Thara Samarakoon for allowing us into her space and letting us look at all the wonderful specimens. We also loved our walk through the food forest with Dr. Megan Mucioki, who helped us identify edible plants and plants that were used by our Mvskoke ancestors.

We loved the little pawpaw trees everywhere too!

It was truly a special day, and I am so excited about this project and to see it start coming together.

I’ll be doing more research at the College of the Muscogee Nation, once we get home.

Can’t wait to share more!
