Museum news

Portraiture and Archives in African Photography (on view February 22 – August 31, 2025) explores how five artists of African descent have innovated approaches for using archives as tools to activate their art through personal and community connections. The exhibition is co-curated by contemporary artist Ibrahima Thiam, who was in residence at the museum during the summer of 2024; Laura and Raymond Wielgus Curator of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and Indigenous Art of the Americas Dr. Allison Martino; and IU Professor of Anthropology Dr. Beth Buggenhagen.

Seven triangular stacks of grain sit in a field in this Impressionist painting. The colors are hazy, but the view of the grainstacks sits in the foreground as a tree line and cloudy sky are seen in the background. In the corner is a small, semi-visible sigature that reads, “Blanche Hoschede”.

Serving as the first monographic exhibition of Blanche Hoschedé-Monet’s work in the United States, Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light underscores the impact of an under-recognized woman artist. Exploring her sophisticated approach to color, composition, and technique, the exhibition brings together more than forty of Hoschedé-Monet’s best paintings—works that attest to her unique vision and ambitions as an artist.
