About

Art 25: Art in the 25th Century is a dynamic collective comprised of artists Lisa Jarrett (Portland, OR), Lehua M. Taitano (San Francsico, CA), Jocelyn Kapumealani Ng (Honolulu, HI), and Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner (Majuro, Marshall Islands). It is the culmination of years (and ancestral lifetimes) of shared curiosity, vision, and an outright insistence to see their culture thrive within contemporary art. Art 25 investigates how Indigenous and Black art lives in the 21st century and collaborates with contemporary artists worldwide who envision how it will flourish in the 25th century and beyond. In forming a future archive, the collective interrogates historical access, curation, collection, consumption, and preservation of Indigenous and Black art and culture.

Art 25 has been featured in exhibitions by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, Orí Gallery, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Arts Research Center at UC Berkeley, Arc Gallery and Studios, Delisted ( created by Jennifer Calkins), Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum in Long Beach, and Pilele Projects in Los Angeles.
