Jeffrey Gibson has reshaped contemporary art. First exhibited at the ICA in 2013, Gibson’s impact has only grown—culminating in his groundbreaking representation of the United States at the 2024 Venice Biennale, one of the world’s most prestigious cultural exhibitions. Gibson’s creative contributions have extended beyond his studio, co-editing the 400+ page anthology An Indigenous Present (2023), and now co-organizing the ICA’s ambitious travelling exhibition of the same name with independent curator Jenelle Porter. Join Gibson as he reflects on his journey as artist, curator, and leader for these monumental projects and initiatives. He will be joined by the ICA’s new Ellen Matilda Poss Director, Nora Burnett Abrams, who will moderate this conversation, marking her debut public program since joining the museum in 2025.
Make the most of your ICA visit! Explore the galleries and visit the ICA’s featured exhibition: An Indigenous Present. Enjoy a drink and light bite in the waterfront Wine + Coffee Bar.
An Indigenous Present is organized by Jeffrey Gibson and Jenelle Porter, guest curators, with Erika Umali, Curator of Collections, and Max Gruber, Curatorial Assistant.
This exhibition is supported in part by Mathieu O. Gaulin, the Leonard and Ruth Horwich Family Foundation, Peggy J. Koenig, Kim Sinatra, the Fotene Demoulas Fund for Curatorial Research and Publications, and an anonymous donor.
With warmest thanks, we gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the ICA’s Avant Guardian Society in making this exhibition possible.
