Hello MIAMI Art Week!
Drop by Art Miami and visit booth #209.
I am excited to be here exhibiting with Turner Carroll gallery!
On Saturday the 7th, meet us at the Lowe Art Museum at 10 AM for a tour of the Slipstream exhibition.
On Sunday the 8th, I will give an Artist Talk at the Lowe Art Museum at 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM.
Have a blast at Art Basel, cheers!
Virgil Ortiz will present an artist talk at the Lowe Museum in Miami on December 8. Join us for the Lowe Art Museum’s flagship Art Basel event, Bubbles and Brunch, featuring Virgil Ortiz: The Future of History!
This event includes a brunch-time champagne reception for Art Week participants and Lowe members from 9 to 11 a.m. It will be followed by a lecture with the distinguished artist and designer Virgil Ortiz from 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Virgil Ortiz has masterfully redefined what it means to be a contemporary Native American artist, successfully navigating the global art world while remaining deeply connected to his Cochiti Pueblo traditions. Ortiz’s epic retelling of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt gradually unfolds, illustrating past and present-day social issues and envisioning the future. The conversation will delve into Ortiz’s work, creative process, and innovative artistic style. AR: @alexsokolart @katioagogo and KBππ½

It’s here... ART WEEK MIAMI!
Thank you Miami Heraldπ€π½π½
Drop in The Lowe Art Museum to see our exhibition SLIPSTREAM through Jan 11, 2025. New Mexican Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz’s show at the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum is the result of a conversation that began five years ago, long before the emergence of indigenous futurism as a trend. After meeting Ortiz five years ago, Lowe director Jill Deupi was so impressed with the skill and complexity of his work that she offered him a solo show. Trained by his late grandmother and mother, both artists, Ortiz uses clay, pumice, and wild spinach leaves from his Pueblo homeland to create monumental painted pottery through traditional methods. A recurrent theme is the Pueblo revolt of 1680, when native peoples coalesced against the Spaniards. Entitled “Slipstream,” the exhibition, which is on view through January 11, 2025, memorializes the revolt through contemporary and futuristic figures, underscoring the fluid nature of time and history.

Your vote matters. We won’t go back.
People of all Nations and Color, you are no longer blind when you can see through your fear.
Women were granted the right to vote August 18, 1920.
Native Americans did not get the right to vote until 1962.

Thank you Lillia, Alex @alexsokolart and team SWC Magazine for this incredible opportunity to educate globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt! ππ½ππ½ π• @swcontemporary Virgil Ortiz is an educator. A traditional Cochiti potter whose work spans more than a dozen media, Ortiz’s monumental artistic practice carries the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 into the future, asking questions about historical memory and consciousness, Indigenous futurisms and pedagogy, and Indigenous agency in the face of settler colonialism. β
β
In our latest issue, Radical Futures, Lillia McEnaney traces Ortiz’s career, from his roots in traditional clay to his latest experiments in AI and AR. β
β
Drawing from his community’s roots in social commentary, Ortiz crafts a future without limitations. His epic art project “Revolt 1680/2180” reaches a climax this fall with “Daybreak of the Resistance,” which opened at Container in Santa Fe on August 10—the 344th anniversary of the Revolt.β

Hey Los Angeles!βπ½π• @theautry The Recon Watchmen covertly surveil the Earth to detect the movements of the Castilians, an imperialist force bent on destroying Pueblo culture. Donning helmets with Stargate crests and armed with impenetrable ha’pons (war shields), the Recon Watchmen seal off pathways and portals to prevent Castilian encroachments and to protect the clay, language, and culture of their Pueblo brethren.
This special installation is part of the exhibition Future Imaginaries: Indigenous Art, Fashion, Technology by @VirgilOrtiz on view through June 26, 2026, in the Autry’s Samuel & Minna Grodin Gallery.

ππ½ππ½Thank you William for your collaboration! Your work is incredible! • @williamtcarson Congratulations @virgilortiz on a beautiful exhibition! Revolt 1680/2180 Daybreak of the Resistance in Santa Fe.
I love the way these collaborative pieces turned out—merging Virgil’s ceramic masks with my coal and paint panels. The world Virgil is creating through his 1680/2180 narratives and characters is incredible and I’m honored to play a small role in bringing his vision into the world π€
From Red Cell for @sfreporter:
“Ortiz’s work is wildly imaginative, though anchored in real-life history, with the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 serving as a wellspring for the expansive narrative universe of his ongoing repertoire. The sometimes-overlooked historical event has become a launching pad of sorts for Ortiz, with the project evolving to span and include multiple theoretical timelines and dimensions, as well as numerous characters culled both from real life and Ortiz’s imagination.”
“Central to the Revolt narrative is Po’Pay, the real-life leader from Ohkay Owingeh who led the Pueblo Revolt against the Spaniards in 1680. That it happened at all is borderline miraculous. With multiple communities and languages spanning hundreds of miles taking part in the uprising, Po’Pay managed to unite them by delivering knotted ropes to various leaders. The knots represented days before the revolt, with one being undone each day until the uprising. These ropes were sent by runners, two of whom were caught, tortured and killed, leading to Po’Pay starting the revolt earlier than planned. The Spanish people were caught off guard and, when the dust settled, some 400 were dead, including nearly two dozen priests. The Pueblo Revolt kept the invaders at bay for a dozen years afterward, allowing the Pueblo peoples time to preserve parts of their culture that would otherwise likely have been wiped out. As most New Mexicans know, though, the Spaniards returned to retake the land. Even so, Po’Pay’s actions made an indelible impression on American history. He clearly impacted Ortiz as well.”

Thank you @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ “Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village” is now closed on campus β°βοΈ
Centering Pueblo perspectives, “Painted” reconsidered the context that informed the social and cultural landscape of Taos from 1915 to 1927, when the Taos Society of Artists (a group of Anglo-American painters) was active. Featuring the Museum’s collection as well as new acquisitions and commissions from contemporary Native American artists, it also shed light on issues that affect Native people today.
There is a long list of people to thank for their participation in this groundbreaking exhibition. Thank you to the exhibition’s curatorial advisory council, whose expertise, feedback, and stories were invaluable to this project. Thank you and congratulations to co-curators Juan Lucero (@juanderful_lucer), Jill Ahlberg Yohe (@jill_ay), and Siera Hyte (@sierahyte), as well as exhibition designer and contributing artist Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz). Thank you to museum staff who activated this exhibition through unique programming and school visits. And thank you to our community of students and visitors for your curiosity, contributions, and enthusiasm π€
Although this exhibition is now closed, an exhibition catalogue featuring insights from the “Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village” Symposium last November will be released later this fall.

Exhibit info:
Virgil Ortiz’s ongoing series ReVolt 1680/2180 transports the events of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 - during which the pueblos of the northern Rio Grande successfully united to oust their Spanish overlords- 500!years into the future, a dystopian world where time travelers and interstellar warriors keep watch over the past, present, and future. Ortiz originally conceived ReVolt 1680/2180 to teach Pueblo history within his own community. It has since evolved into an epic work of science fiction that explores themes of justice, resistance, and resilience through historical figures reimagined as futuristic heroes and brought to life through sculpture, photography, film, and fashion design.

All my work is rooted in educating globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. I’ve incorporated this subject matter into my work and art mediums for over two decades. It is an awakening of the truth. Omtua and Catua—young runners from Tesuque Pueblo, among several other messengers, carried knotted deer-hide strips more than 50 miles to surrounding villages just before the rebellion. The number of knots signaled the days remaining before the well-orchestrated uprising. But this ingenious plan was cut short, and the revolt began early. Omtua and Catua were captured, tortured, and hanged, becoming the first to give their lives to the cause. This Omtua sculpture now lives in the permanent collection of @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ππ½ AR by Sebastian @sebskatesalot #ceramics #art #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Hello Richmond! • @nceca ANNOUNCING THE NCECA ANNUAL INVITED ARTISTS, Virgil Ortiz! (@virgilortiz) 2024 NCECA ANNUAL: RENDERED FUSION: CLAY, CONNECTION, ATTENTION Curated by Dr. Lauranett Lee and N. Elizabeth Schlatter Harnett Museum of Art, University of Richmond Museums, Modlin Center for the Arts Dates: February 7 – May 12, 2023 The cross-disciplinary team of co-curators for Rendered Fusion: Clay, Connection, Attention are interested in the diverse ways that artists work with clay to explore and give form to experiences of time and place as a concept, material investigation, and creative expression. The material’s tactile and dynamic nature grounds us in the present moment and records traces of physical contact. The work often connects us with resonances of the near and distant past as well as meditations on the future. Vessels, sculptures, and conceptual works have the capacity to render evidence of time and place through physical and visual presence. The exhibition includes works by six invited artists, and 33 additional artists selected through an open call for submissions. Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz) fuses his Pueblo culture with sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalyptic themes, yielding thought-provoking and futuristic imagery while shaping the fantastical world he’s creating with clay and multimedia art. Ortiz teaches Pueblo history to multiple generations of viewers worldwide, telling the story of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt by introducing a cast of superheroes he’s created over the years through a series of works, including jars, busts, and now live actors portraying the characters in the story. Join us in Richmond, Virginia for NCECA’s 2024 Coalescence Conference from March 20 - March 23, 2024. Coalescence will be an opportunity to share and connect about the changing ways we teach, learn, and create through clay.

ReVOlt Runner sculpt. Po’pay, leader of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, has been recognized throughout history as the man who made it possible for Pueblo culture to survive and preserve itself through the centuries. Po’pay dispatched runners carrying knotted cords to all the Pueblos. When the last knot was untied, it would set off the uprising — a remarkable feat against the invaders. Although the victory lasted for a brief twelve years, the revolt remains a pivotal era of New Mexico’s history. ~ VO. #ceramics #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #handmade #artistsoninstagram #indigenous #artist #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz creates ceramics, fashion, video, and multi-media designs, including projection mapping and augmented reality (AR). He was raised in a creative environment in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, where he lives and works today, maintaining the figurative pottery traditions of his grandmother, Laurencita Herrera, and his mother, Seferina Ortiz, both of whom are renowned Pueblo potters. Many of Ortiz’s works reference the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, re-examining the past and projecting on the future. In his ongoing 1680/2180 project, he meticulously crafts characters engaged in a perpetual struggle for Native land and cultural preservation. Ortiz’s works will be featured in a solo presentation at the Lowe Art Museum in Fall 2024.

Drop in The Lowe Art Museum to see our exhibition SLIPSTREAM through Jan 11, 2025. New Mexican Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz’s show at the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum is the result of a conversation that began five years ago, long before the emergence of indigenous futurism as a trend. After meeting Ortiz five years ago, Lowe director Jill Deupi was so impressed with the skill and complexity of his work that she offered him a solo show. Trained by his late grandmother and mother, both artists, Ortiz uses clay, pumice, and wild spinach leaves from his Pueblo homeland to create monumental painted pottery through traditional methods. A recurrent theme is the Pueblo revolt of 1680, when native peoples coalesced against the Spaniards. Entitled “Slipstream,” the exhibition, which is on view through January 11, 2025, memorializes the revolt through contemporary and futuristic figures, underscoring the fluid nature of time and history.

Thank you Lillia, Alex @alexsokolart and team SWC Magazine for this incredible opportunity to educate globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt! ππ½ππ½ π• @swcontemporary Virgil Ortiz is an educator. A traditional Cochiti potter whose work spans more than a dozen media, Ortiz’s monumental artistic practice carries the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 into the future, asking questions about historical memory and consciousness, Indigenous futurisms and pedagogy, and Indigenous agency in the face of settler colonialism. β
β
In our latest issue, Radical Futures, Lillia McEnaney traces Ortiz’s career, from his roots in traditional clay to his latest experiments in AI and AR. β
β
Drawing from his community’s roots in social commentary, Ortiz crafts a future without limitations. His epic art project “Revolt 1680/2180” reaches a climax this fall with “Daybreak of the Resistance,” which opened at Container in Santa Fe on August 10—the 344th anniversary of the Revolt.β

Hey Los Angeles!βπ½π• @theautry The Recon Watchmen covertly surveil the Earth to detect the movements of the Castilians, an imperialist force bent on destroying Pueblo culture. Donning helmets with Stargate crests and armed with impenetrable ha’pons (war shields), the Recon Watchmen seal off pathways and portals to prevent Castilian encroachments and to protect the clay, language, and culture of their Pueblo brethren.
This special installation is part of the exhibition Future Imaginaries: Indigenous Art, Fashion, Technology by @VirgilOrtiz on view through June 26, 2026, in the Autry’s Samuel & Minna Grodin Gallery.

ππ½ππ½Thank you William for your collaboration! Your work is incredible! • @williamtcarson Congratulations @virgilortiz on a beautiful exhibition! Revolt 1680/2180 Daybreak of the Resistance in Santa Fe.
I love the way these collaborative pieces turned out—merging Virgil’s ceramic masks with my coal and paint panels. The world Virgil is creating through his 1680/2180 narratives and characters is incredible and I’m honored to play a small role in bringing his vision into the world π€
From Red Cell for @sfreporter:
“Ortiz’s work is wildly imaginative, though anchored in real-life history, with the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 serving as a wellspring for the expansive narrative universe of his ongoing repertoire. The sometimes-overlooked historical event has become a launching pad of sorts for Ortiz, with the project evolving to span and include multiple theoretical timelines and dimensions, as well as numerous characters culled both from real life and Ortiz’s imagination.”
“Central to the Revolt narrative is Po’Pay, the real-life leader from Ohkay Owingeh who led the Pueblo Revolt against the Spaniards in 1680. That it happened at all is borderline miraculous. With multiple communities and languages spanning hundreds of miles taking part in the uprising, Po’Pay managed to unite them by delivering knotted ropes to various leaders. The knots represented days before the revolt, with one being undone each day until the uprising. These ropes were sent by runners, two of whom were caught, tortured and killed, leading to Po’Pay starting the revolt earlier than planned. The Spanish people were caught off guard and, when the dust settled, some 400 were dead, including nearly two dozen priests. The Pueblo Revolt kept the invaders at bay for a dozen years afterward, allowing the Pueblo peoples time to preserve parts of their culture that would otherwise likely have been wiped out. As most New Mexicans know, though, the Spaniards returned to retake the land. Even so, Po’Pay’s actions made an indelible impression on American history. He clearly impacted Ortiz as well.”

Thank you @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ “Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village” is now closed on campus β°βοΈ
Centering Pueblo perspectives, “Painted” reconsidered the context that informed the social and cultural landscape of Taos from 1915 to 1927, when the Taos Society of Artists (a group of Anglo-American painters) was active. Featuring the Museum’s collection as well as new acquisitions and commissions from contemporary Native American artists, it also shed light on issues that affect Native people today.
There is a long list of people to thank for their participation in this groundbreaking exhibition. Thank you to the exhibition’s curatorial advisory council, whose expertise, feedback, and stories were invaluable to this project. Thank you and congratulations to co-curators Juan Lucero (@juanderful_lucer), Jill Ahlberg Yohe (@jill_ay), and Siera Hyte (@sierahyte), as well as exhibition designer and contributing artist Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz). Thank you to museum staff who activated this exhibition through unique programming and school visits. And thank you to our community of students and visitors for your curiosity, contributions, and enthusiasm π€
Although this exhibition is now closed, an exhibition catalogue featuring insights from the “Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village” Symposium last November will be released later this fall.

Exhibit info:
Virgil Ortiz’s ongoing series ReVolt 1680/2180 transports the events of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 - during which the pueblos of the northern Rio Grande successfully united to oust their Spanish overlords- 500!years into the future, a dystopian world where time travelers and interstellar warriors keep watch over the past, present, and future. Ortiz originally conceived ReVolt 1680/2180 to teach Pueblo history within his own community. It has since evolved into an epic work of science fiction that explores themes of justice, resistance, and resilience through historical figures reimagined as futuristic heroes and brought to life through sculpture, photography, film, and fashion design.

All my work is rooted in educating globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. I’ve incorporated this subject matter into my work and art mediums for over two decades. It is an awakening of the truth. Omtua and Catua—young runners from Tesuque Pueblo, among several other messengers, carried knotted deer-hide strips more than 50 miles to surrounding villages just before the rebellion. The number of knots signaled the days remaining before the well-orchestrated uprising. But this ingenious plan was cut short, and the revolt began early. Omtua and Catua were captured, tortured, and hanged, becoming the first to give their lives to the cause. This Omtua sculpture now lives in the permanent collection of @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ππ½ AR by Sebastian @sebskatesalot #ceramics #art #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Hello Richmond! • @nceca ANNOUNCING THE NCECA ANNUAL INVITED ARTISTS, Virgil Ortiz! (@virgilortiz) 2024 NCECA ANNUAL: RENDERED FUSION: CLAY, CONNECTION, ATTENTION Curated by Dr. Lauranett Lee and N. Elizabeth Schlatter Harnett Museum of Art, University of Richmond Museums, Modlin Center for the Arts Dates: February 7 – May 12, 2023 The cross-disciplinary team of co-curators for Rendered Fusion: Clay, Connection, Attention are interested in the diverse ways that artists work with clay to explore and give form to experiences of time and place as a concept, material investigation, and creative expression. The material’s tactile and dynamic nature grounds us in the present moment and records traces of physical contact. The work often connects us with resonances of the near and distant past as well as meditations on the future. Vessels, sculptures, and conceptual works have the capacity to render evidence of time and place through physical and visual presence. The exhibition includes works by six invited artists, and 33 additional artists selected through an open call for submissions. Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz) fuses his Pueblo culture with sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalyptic themes, yielding thought-provoking and futuristic imagery while shaping the fantastical world he’s creating with clay and multimedia art. Ortiz teaches Pueblo history to multiple generations of viewers worldwide, telling the story of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt by introducing a cast of superheroes he’s created over the years through a series of works, including jars, busts, and now live actors portraying the characters in the story. Join us in Richmond, Virginia for NCECA’s 2024 Coalescence Conference from March 20 - March 23, 2024. Coalescence will be an opportunity to share and connect about the changing ways we teach, learn, and create through clay. Registration for the 2024 NCECA Coalescence Conference in Richmond, Virginia, is now open! #reels #reelsinstagram #ceramics #artist #sculpture #handmade

ReVOlt Runner sculpt. Po’pay, leader of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, has been recognized throughout history as the man who made it possible for Pueblo culture to survive and preserve itself through the centuries. Po’pay dispatched runners carrying knotted cords to all the Pueblos. When the last knot was untied, it would set off the uprising — a remarkable feat against the invaders. Although the victory lasted for a brief twelve years, the revolt remains a pivotal era of New Mexico’s history. ~ VO. #ceramics #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #handmade #artistsoninstagram #indigenous #artist #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz creates ceramics, fashion, video, and multi-media designs, including projection mapping and augmented reality (AR). He was raised in a creative environment in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, where he lives and works today, maintaining the figurative pottery traditions of his grandmother, Laurencita Herrera, and his mother, Seferina Ortiz, both of whom are renowned Pueblo potters. Many of Ortiz’s works reference the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, re-examining the past and projecting on the future. In his ongoing 1680/2180 project, he meticulously crafts characters engaged in a perpetual struggle for Native land and cultural preservation. Ortiz’s works will be featured in a solo presentation at the Lowe Art Museum in Fall 2024.

ππ½ππ½π𽕠@nceca ANNOUNCING THE NCECA ANNUAL INVITED ARTISTS, Virgil Ortiz! (@virgilortiz)
2024 NCECA ANNUAL: RENDERED FUSION: CLAY, CONNECTION, ATTENTION
Curated by Dr. Lauranett Lee and N. Elizabeth Schlatter
Harnett Museum of Art, University of Richmond Museums, Modlin Center for the Arts
Dates: February 7 – May 12, 2023
The cross-disciplinary team of co-curators for Rendered Fusion: Clay, Connection, Attention are interested in the diverse ways that artists work with clay to explore and give form to experiences of time and place as a concept, material investigation, and creative expression. The material’s tactile and dynamic nature grounds us in the present moment and records traces of physical contact. The work often connects us with resonances of the near and distant past as well as meditations on the future. Vessels, sculptures, and conceptual works have the capacity to render evidence of time and place through physical and visual presence. The exhibition includes works by six invited artists, and 33 additional artists selected through an open call for submissions.
Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz) fuses his Pueblo culture with sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalyptic themes, yielding thought-provoking and futuristic imagery while shaping the fantastical world he’s creating with clay and multimedia art. Ortiz teaches Pueblo history to multiple generations of viewers worldwide, telling the story of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt by introducing a cast of superheroes he’s created over the years through a series of works, including jars, busts, and now live actors portraying the characters in the story.
Join us in Richmond, Virginia for NCECA’s 2024 Coalescence Conference from March 20 - March 23, 2024. Coalescence will be an opportunity to share and connect about the changing ways we teach, learn, and create through clay.
Registration for the 2024 NCECA Coalescence Conference in Richmond, Virginia, is now open!
Early Bird registration ends January 31, 2024. Register today with the link in out bio! https://nceca.net/2024-registration-pricing

I am excited to be here exhibiting with Turner Carroll gallery!
On Saturday the 7th, meet us at the Lowe Art Museum at 10 AM for a tour of the Slipstream exhibition.
On Sunday the 8th, I will give an Artist Talk at the Lowe Art Museum at 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM.
Have a blast at Art Basel, cheers!
Virgil Ortiz will present an artist talk at the Lowe Museum in Miami on December 8. Join us for the Lowe Art Museum’s flagship Art Basel event, Bubbles and Brunch, featuring Virgil Ortiz: The Future of History!
This event includes a brunch-time champagne reception for Art Week participants and Lowe members from 9 to 11 a.m. It will be followed by a lecture with the distinguished artist and designer Virgil Ortiz from 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Virgil Ortiz has masterfully redefined what it means to be a contemporary Native American artist, successfully navigating the global art world while remaining deeply connected to his Cochiti Pueblo traditions. Ortiz’s epic retelling of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt gradually unfolds, illustrating past and present-day social issues and envisioning the future. The conversation will delve into Ortiz’s work, creative process, and innovative artistic style. AR: @alexsokolart @katioagogo and KBππ½

Thank you Miami Heraldπ€π½π½
Drop in The Lowe Art Museum to see our exhibition SLIPSTREAM through Jan 11, 2025. New Mexican Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz’s show at the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum is the result of a conversation that began five years ago, long before the emergence of indigenous futurism as a trend. After meeting Ortiz five years ago, Lowe director Jill Deupi was so impressed with the skill and complexity of his work that she offered him a solo show. Trained by his late grandmother and mother, both artists, Ortiz uses clay, pumice, and wild spinach leaves from his Pueblo homeland to create monumental painted pottery through traditional methods. A recurrent theme is the Pueblo revolt of 1680, when native peoples coalesced against the Spaniards. Entitled “Slipstream,” the exhibition, which is on view through January 11, 2025, memorializes the revolt through contemporary and futuristic figures, underscoring the fluid nature of time and history.

Thank you Lillia, Alex @alexsokolart and team SWC Magazine for this incredible opportunity to educate globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt! ππ½ππ½ π• @swcontemporary Virgil Ortiz is an educator. A traditional Cochiti potter whose work spans more than a dozen media, Ortiz’s monumental artistic practice carries the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 into the future, asking questions about historical memory and consciousness, Indigenous futurisms and pedagogy, and Indigenous agency in the face of settler colonialism. β
β
In our latest issue, Radical Futures, Lillia McEnaney traces Ortiz’s career, from his roots in traditional clay to his latest experiments in AI and AR. β
β
Drawing from his community’s roots in social commentary, Ortiz crafts a future without limitations. His epic art project “Revolt 1680/2180” reaches a climax this fall with “Daybreak of the Resistance,” which opened at Container in Santa Fe on August 10—the 344th anniversary of the Revolt.β

Donning helmets with Stargate crests and armed with impenetrable ha’pons (war shields), the Recon Watchmen seal off pathways and portals to prevent Castilian encroachments and to protect the clay, language, and culture of their Pueblo brethren.

ππ½ππ½Thank you William for your collaboration! Your work is incredible! • @williamtcarson Congratulations @virgilortiz on a beautiful exhibition! Revolt 1680/2180 Daybreak of the Resistance in Santa Fe.
I love the way these collaborative pieces turned out—merging Virgil’s ceramic masks with my coal and paint panels. The world Virgil is creating through his 1680/2180 narratives and characters is incredible and I’m honored to play a small role in bringing his vision into the world π€
From Red Cell for @sfreporter:
“Ortiz’s work is wildly imaginative, though anchored in real-life history, with the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 serving as a wellspring for the expansive narrative universe of his ongoing repertoire. The sometimes-overlooked historical event has become a launching pad of sorts for Ortiz, with the project evolving to span and include multiple theoretical timelines and dimensions, as well as numerous characters culled both from real life and Ortiz’s imagination.”
“Central to the Revolt narrative is Po’Pay, the real-life leader from Ohkay Owingeh who led the Pueblo Revolt against the Spaniards in 1680. That it happened at all is borderline miraculous. With multiple communities and languages spanning hundreds of miles taking part in the uprising, Po’Pay managed to unite them by delivering knotted ropes to various leaders. The knots represented days before the revolt, with one being undone each day until the uprising. These ropes were sent by runners, two of whom were caught, tortured and killed, leading to Po’Pay starting the revolt earlier than planned. The Spanish people were caught off guard and, when the dust settled, some 400 were dead, including nearly two dozen priests. The Pueblo Revolt kept the invaders at bay for a dozen years afterward, allowing the Pueblo peoples time to preserve parts of their culture that would otherwise likely have been wiped out. As most New Mexicans know, though, the Spaniards returned to retake the land. Even so, Po’Pay’s actions made an indelible impression on American history. He clearly impacted Ortiz as well.”

Thank you @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ “Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village” is now closed on campus β°βοΈ
Centering Pueblo perspectives, “Painted” reconsidered the context that informed the social and cultural landscape of Taos from 1915 to 1927, when the Taos Society of Artists (a group of Anglo-American painters) was active. Featuring the Museum’s collection as well as new acquisitions and commissions from contemporary Native American artists, it also shed light on issues that affect Native people today.
There is a long list of people to thank for their participation in this groundbreaking exhibition. Thank you to the exhibition’s curatorial advisory council, whose expertise, feedback, and stories were invaluable to this project. Thank you and congratulations to co-curators Juan Lucero (@juanderful_lucer), Jill Ahlberg Yohe (@jill_ay), and Siera Hyte (@sierahyte), as well as exhibition designer and contributing artist Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz). Thank you to museum staff who activated this exhibition through unique programming and school visits.

Exhibit info:
Virgil Ortiz’s ongoing series ReVolt 1680/2180 transports the events of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 - during which the pueblos of the northern Rio Grande successfully united to oust their Spanish overlords- 500!years into the future, a dystopian world where time travelers and interstellar warriors keep watch over the past, present, and future. Ortiz originally conceived ReVolt 1680/2180 to teach Pueblo history within his own community. It has since evolved into an epic work of science fiction that explores themes of justice, resistance, and resilience through historical figures reimagined as futuristic heroes and brought to life through sculpture, photography, film, and fashion design.

All my work is rooted in educating globally about the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. I’ve incorporated this subject matter into my work and art mediums for over two decades. It is an awakening of the truth. Omtua and Catua—young runners from Tesuque Pueblo, among several other messengers, carried knotted deer-hide strips more than 50 miles to surrounding villages just before the rebellion. The number of knots signaled the days remaining before the well-orchestrated uprising. But this ingenious plan was cut short, and the revolt began early. Omtua and Catua were captured, tortured, and hanged, becoming the first to give their lives to the cause. This Omtua sculpture now lives in the permanent collection of @colbymuseum ππ½ππ½ππ½ AR by Sebastian @sebskatesalot #ceramics #art #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Hello Richmond! • @nceca ANNOUNCING THE NCECA ANNUAL INVITED ARTISTS, Virgil Ortiz! (@virgilortiz) 2024 NCECA ANNUAL: RENDERED FUSION: CLAY, CONNECTION, ATTENTION Curated by Dr. Lauranett Lee and N. Elizabeth Schlatter Harnett Museum of Art, University of Richmond Museums, Modlin Center for the Arts Dates: February 7 – May 12, 2023 The cross-disciplinary team of co-curators for Rendered Fusion: Clay, Connection, Attention are interested in the diverse ways that artists work with clay to explore and give form to experiences of time and place as a concept, material investigation, and creative expression. The material’s tactile and dynamic nature grounds us in the present moment and records traces of physical contact. The work often connects us with resonances of the near and distant past as well as meditations on the future. Vessels, sculptures, and conceptual works have the capacity to render evidence of time and place through physical and visual presence. The exhibition includes works by six invited artists, and 33 additional artists selected through an open call for submissions. Virgil Ortiz (@virgilortiz) fuses his Pueblo culture with sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalyptic themes, yielding thought-provoking and futuristic imagery while shaping the fantastical world he’s creating with clay and multimedia art. Ortiz teaches Pueblo history to multiple generations of viewers worldwide, telling the story of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt by introducing a cast of superheroes he’s created over the years through a series of works, including jars, busts, and now live actors portraying the characters in the story. Join us in Richmond, Virginia for NCECA’s 2024 Coalescence Conference from March 20 - March 23, 2024. Coalescence will be an opportunity to share and connect about the changing ways we teach, learn, and create through clay.

ReVOlt Runner sculpt. Po’pay, leader of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, has been recognized throughout history as the man who made it possible for Pueblo culture to survive and preserve itself through the centuries. Po’pay dispatched runners carrying knotted cords to all the Pueblos. When the last knot was untied, it would set off the uprising — a remarkable feat against the invaders. Although the victory lasted for a brief twelve years, the revolt remains a pivotal era of New Mexico’s history. ~ VO. #ceramics #clay #sculpture #reels #reelsinstagram #handmade #artistsoninstagram #indigenous #artist #virgilortiz #MadeInNativeAmerica®οΈ

Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz creates ceramics, fashion, video, and multi-media designs, including projection mapping and augmented reality (AR). He was raised in a creative environment in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, where he lives and works today, maintaining the figurative pottery traditions of his grandmother, Laurencita Herrera, and his mother, Seferina Ortiz, both of whom are renowned Pueblo potters. Many of Ortiz’s works reference the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, re-examining the past and projecting on the future. In his ongoing 1680/2180 project, he meticulously crafts characters engaged in a perpetual struggle for Native land and cultural preservation. Ortiz’s works will be featured in a solo presentation at the Lowe Art Museum in Fall 2024.
