Tune in monthly for a behind the scenes sneak peek of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s Collections with host and Curator of Collections, Amy G. Johnson (Isleta).
Mothers & Matriarchs of Acoma Pueblo: Inspiring Families and Generations of Potters
Join Amy Johnson, our Curator of Collections, for a look at four Acoma Pueblo potters. Lucy M. Lewis, Marie Z. Chino, Juana Leno, and Jessie Garcia rightfully gained credit as Matriarchs in their discipline. Their unique clay creations and designs formed the basis and inspiration for contemporary potters. Amy will show you our collection of their works as acknowledgement and tribute to all Mothers and Matriarchs.

More Details
Amy’s work with the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center spans nearly 19 years, and her focus is on caring for nearly 4,000 works in our permanent collection. IPCC’s permanent collection consists of pottery, jewelry, textiles, baskets, regalia, paintings, prints, and a small collection of archaeological material. The works in our collection showcase each of the 19 Pueblos here in New Mexico with a small collection of cultural material from tribes of the Greater Southwest. The ongoing efforts to continually, and carefully preserve each piece for future generations of Pueblo artists, our guests, and researchers are paramount to the mission of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.
