About Our Current Exhibition



Nurtured Flames: The Medicine of Fire
This new exhibitoin by Meztli Projects, presented at the Armory Center for the Arts, features new works created in 2026 by an intergenerational cohort of eleven Indigenous artists. Continuing Indigenous practices of collaborative art-making and learning, the exhibition explores the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and fire. Moving beyond the binary of "good fire" and "bad fire," the artists draw on Indigenous knowledge systems that understand fire as a force of stewardship, care, renewal, repair, and regeneration.

The Armory's See Art, Make Art program is made possible in part with support from the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division and the Rowe & Gayle Giesen Trust.
