> 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, Sally
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 irstsite.Learn
