> ARTKACINA was created to celebrate the
experiences and achievements of Firstsite. Artkacina,
draws on Sally’s interests in mythology, community
and storytelling. After visiting the gallery the
artist was inspired to create a work that would
capture the vitality, energy and spirit of
firstsite’s last eleven years. Sheinman has created
544 artkacina – referencing ‘kachina’; native
American dolls traditionally used to teach children
about characters from Hopi Indian mythology. The
intricately painted hand-held sculptures are
accompanied by words which are all inspired by
firstsite.Learn
