This mural was shown in the Art Through Struggle Gallery in We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story, the IPCC’s permanent exhibition. The mural was unveiled on June 28, 2024 and shown through June 1, 2025.

This 7-panel painting was designed and created by NSRGNTS, two Indigenous artists based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a commission for the IPCC.

NSRGNTS is Leah Povi Marie Lewis (Laguna, Taos, Zuni Pueblos/Hopi/Diné) and Votan Henriquez (Maya/Nahua). Their mural focuses on Pueblo empowerment of the past, present, and future and is painted in vivid colors in a “Kawaii” style—a “cute” illustrative style similar to anime. The artwork’s visual story places emphasis on Po’pay as a Pueblo role model and a figure of strength. It invites storytelling and teaching for all ages through an approachable style that is accessible even for our youngest visitors and community members.
