Developed throughout their 2025-26 residency : in place offers a collection of mappings through sculpture. The title of Keshena's solo exhibition : in place, borrows from the term in situ, a reference to an object in its 'natural or original' position. These sculptures—crafted from wood, steel, and found objects—draw their forms from Indigenous methodologies in mapmaking and serve as acts of witnessing place. Each piece in this show is anchored to a specific site in Minneapolis and weaves together personal and communal histories gathered over the past year. 

Delaney Keshena (Menominee) is a visual artist and educator based in Minneapolis, MN. Keshena uses hair, skin, and glass to craft objects that relate stories of family, nation, and contemporary Indigenous experience. They've recently completed residency programs with ACRE and Second Shift Studios. Delaney is currently a Studio Artist with Public Functionary.
