Mobile Section at Indelible Blue, Albuquerque NM

Albuquerque Museum is pleased to introduce Indelible Blue: Indigo Across the Globe. This exhibition explores the history, techniques, and movement of indigo, tracing the different varieties of plants back to the regions and cultures that have utilized this elusive dye for millennia. Indelible Blue features artists from around the world currently working with indigo as well as historical objects from Asia, South Asia, Africa, The Americas, and New Mexico. The exhibition considers how artists are reflecting on the cultural and geographical significance of the color blue and traditional ways of dyeing as well as contemplating the social and cultural narratives that impact the present and the future.

Mobile Section is a sound and indigo installation by Rowland Ricketts and Norbert Herber.
