Francesca Bifulco speaks on history, endurance, and the overlooked narratives that continue to shape America.
“This isn’t a country with a short history… this country was started by the Native Americans.”
Originally from Pæstum in southern Italy, Bifulco draws from religious iconography, ritual, and memory to create contemporary altarpieces that bridge the sacred and the political. In this work, the traditional devotional structure becomes a tribute to Indigenous and Native American communities, honoring both their enduring presence and the ongoing advocacy movements fighting for land, visibility, and justice.
Blending reverence with contemporary storytelling, Bifulco’s layered compositions reimagine historical forms as spaces for collective memory, resilience, and cultural reckoning.
DARK SHADOWS on view through May 30.
