Virgil Ortiz is a major voice in contemporary art whose primary artistic focus is to tell the story of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt – a historic event often overlooked in American history. The Pueblo Revolt took place over 300 years ago when Pueblo Indians living around Santa Fe, New Mexico, rose up and drove their Spanish oppressors away after enduring 100 years of cruel colonialism. Ortiz sees the event as an early fight for freedom and equality that still eludes minorities today and draws from it inspiration to blend past and future in contemporary art forms.
Rooted in traditional Cochiti pottery, his work embraces his passion for science fiction to create futuristic storylines that transport visitors back more than 300 years to the 1680 Pueblo Revolt and then speed forward through time to the year 2180.
After the winner is announced and the raffle is over, MAM will make a donation to support Keres Children’s Learning Center, a nonprofit organization that is dear to the artist.
