DC | Truman Lowe's Artistic Legacy (Panel Discussion)

About

Saturday, April 18, 2026, 2 – 3 pm Truman Lowe (Hoock, 1944-2019) is recognized for his minimalist sculptures of wood, feathers, and other organic materials evoking the waters and woodlands of his homeland. Water's Edge brings together nearly 50 of the acclaimed artist's sculptures, drawings, and paintings to explore the key themes his work addressed. For this conversation, curator Rebecca Head Trautmann is joined by Lowe's daughter, Tonia Lowe (Hoock), and artist John Hitchcock (Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, with Comanche and Northern European ancestry), both contributors to the exhibition's catalogue, to discuss Lowe's artwork and his lasting impact on Indigenous contemporary art.Image: Truman Lowe (Hoock, 19442019), Mimi, 1979.
