“My Baggage: Back to Wewoka”
Acclaimed Seminole/Muscogee installation artist and sculptor C. Maxx Stevens has returned to her hometown of Wewoka. Her prominent career includes a major solo exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York, alongside prestigious honors such as the Joan Mitchell Foundation Sculptor Grant and the Eiteljorg Fellowship.
Titled “My Baggage: Back to Wewoka”, the show tracks the artist’s life journey as a proud Seminole woman using vintage luggage and found objects to explore the concept of place. The collection touches on personal, environmental, and cultural themes—including life lessons, family narratives, Native identity, animal rights, and psychological perspectives on childhood experiences. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has described her immersive style utilizing dollhouses, shadow boxes, and mixed media as both “haunting” and “familiar”.
This exhibit is open to the public starting on Monday, October 5, 2026 in the Margaret Jane Norman Gallery at the Seminole Nation Museum.
