About

Cara and Diego Romero: Tales of Futures Past brings together artwork by acclaimed contemporary artists Cara Romero (Chemehuevi) and Diego Romero (Cochiti). Organized by the Figge Art Museum, this nationally traveling exhibition features 18 of Diego Romero's thought=provoking pottery pieces and lithographs, 20 of Cara Romero's evocative photographs, including from her Indigenous Futurism series, and a new collaborative piece created exclusively for this exhibition. 

This powerful exhibition explores the diversity of Indigenous identity through the distinct yet interconnected practices of Cara and Diego Romero. While maintaining individual studio practices, their work shares themes of evolving Indigenous identity. Drawing from personal perspectives and popular culture, they confront colonialism, celebrate resilience, and address social and environmental justice through culturally rooted imagery. Much of their work exists in a supernatural realm, creating empowering spaces for marginalized voices. 

A companion catalogue will feature essays by scholars and activists, including America Meredith, Bruce Bernstein, PhD, Suzan Shown Harjo, and Jill Ahlberg Yohe, PhD. 

Organized by the Figge Art Museum, Cara and Diego Romero: Tales of Futures Past will travel nationally to the Crocker Art Museum (Sacarmento, CA), the Albuquerque Museum (NM), and another venue through summer 2026.
