Sonya Kelliher-Combs: TITIQ/MARK
About This Event
Sonya Kelliher-Combs presents TITIQ/MARK at Whitney Exhibitions, an exhibition of work that incorporates organic materials such as walrus gut, historically used in Inupiaq overcoats.

About TITIQ/MARK
At Whitney Exhibitions, Sonya Kelliher-Combs brings **TITIQ/MARK** to New York City as an exhibition grounded in Indigenous material knowledge. The work incorporates organic elements such as walrus gut, a substance historically used in Iñupiaq clothing, and treats it as both medium and record. It stages a set of questions about the boundaries Western institutions draw between Native and non-Native culture, self and other, and human and environment. The show reads as a careful refusal of easy categories, asking what gets preserved, and at what cost.
