The artworks in this gallery celebrate the legacy and evolution of Lenape visual expression. The room is anchored by "Remembrance," an installation that honors Xinkwikaoan (Big House), the principal religion of the Lenape. The central post, carved and painted by Joe Baker, Michael Asbill, and others, offers both gratitude and environmental protection in the face of climate change today. Surrounding "Remembrance" are paintings by Joe Baker, and Holly Wilson’s monumental sculpture "Bloodline," which explore the artists’ tribal identity, personal memory, and family history. These works carry stories from the Lenape’s past into the present day and future.
