Distinctly Geo: Wabanaki Basketry of Today

Passamaquoddy artist Geo Neptune discusses their origins as a basketmaker and how they learned techniques and art forms from their grandmother, Molly Neptune Parker. They describe how they go beyond traditional techniques and incorporate their own artistic interpretations to their work. This video is produced by Mountain Mover Media, in partnership with the Institute of American Indian Arts and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Geo Neptune is one of the featured artists in Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023. The exhibition focuses on fresh and nuanced visions by six Native American or Alaska Native artists who express the honors and burdens that connect people to one another. This is the first time Native Americans and Alaska Native artists have been selected for the Renwick Invitational, dedicated to showcasing emerging and mid-career makers deserving of wider national recognition.
