Virtual Art Talk: Watch the recording of our session featuring Jared Tso (Diné) in conversation with moderator Velma Kee Craig (Diné). Tso discusses his contributions to the exhibition, Arriving Forever into the Present World. Although the exhibition is no longer on view, the presentation includes a vibrant slideshow of the artist’s works.
The exhibition featured works from the Heard Museum’s permanent collection, including textiles, pottery, and basketry, representing living artistic traditions within Southwestern Indigenous cultures. Arriving Forever challenged prevailing conversations about what makes a work of art “contemporary.”
Jared Tso is a fourth-generation Diné potter from Nahata Dziil, AZ. He completed his MFA in Ceramics at the University of New Mexico in 2021 and transitioned from electrical engineering to full-time artistry. Known for his innovative approach to traditional Diné pottery techniques, Tso has received multiple awards, including Best of Classification for Pottery at the Heard Indian Market 2023.
