Summary note

"'Boundless' expands conversations on Native and Indigenous art and literature by presenting words and images in kinship. Starting in the collections of the Mead Art Museum and the Collection of Native American Literature at Amherst College and centered on the creative production of Native peoples of the Northeast, the project follows relationships between Indigenous authors and artists across the United States and beyond borders. 'Boundless' presents an engagement of Indigenous curatorial methods as practiced by guest curator Heid E. Erdrich (Ojibwe) in an exhibition in two iterations hosted by the Mead in 2023 and 2024. Advisors to 'Boundless' include Mohegan, Nipmuc, Shinnecock, and Wampanoag artists and scholars, along with others, who supported Erdrich in her urge to center the project in the Northeast. Advisors contributed both visual art and writing to the exhibition and publication. Collaborative co-creation between artists, students, faculty, Mead staff Lisa Crossman and Emily Potter-Ndiaye and the guest curator are also explored in this illustrated volume. Amherst College's Collection of Native American Literature contains thousands of Indigenous-authored works spanning centuries. The Collection's abundance of books, prints, music, ephemera, and artist-made works, all by Native people, provide rich selections for 'Boundless'. Crosscurrents of Indigenous visual art and literature are considered in this broad and interdisciplinary project. 'Boundless' crosses generations to explore relatedness, kinship, and collegiality."-- Page 4 of cover.
