"Blood Quantum" offers attendees a fusion of visual artistry and narrative storytelling that delves deep into the intricacies of the colonial concept of Blood Quantum. Cressandra Thibodeaux's unique approach ignites crucial conversations and reflections on this pertinent subject, stimulating critical dialogues on societal issues.

Thibodeaux is an artist known for her impactful work that inspires contemplation and discussion. Through her exhibition, she invites audiences to engage with the profound exploration of the historical construct designed to quantify one's "Indianness." The photo series challenges and encourages discussions about the enduring repercussions of this system on present-day Indigenous experiences.

The portraits featured in "Blood Quantum" are set against backgrounds reminiscent of a brown paper bag, drawing allusions to the historical 'Brown Paper Bag Test' and highlighting prevalent colorism within Native communities. This exploration of identity and acceptance mirrors the shared struggles of mixed-blood individuals within these spaces.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until March 2.
