For many Indigenous communities, adopting and adapting car culture is a way of expressing heritage and contemporary experiences. Cars, skateboards, motorcycles, bicycles, and even shoes become canvases, often incorporating traditional symbols, colors, and patterns.

This exhibit includes photographs and artwork by Indigenous artists focusing on Indigenous lowriders and their cars, skateboards, motorcycles, and bicycles. Eleven die-cast model cars painted by Native artists will also be on display. Related activities with Indigenous car and motorcycle club members, artists, and curators will be offered.
