Cannupa Hanska Luger

Harm

Cannupa Hanska Luger is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold whose interdisciplinary works communicate urgent problems afflicting contemporary Indigenous communities. Harm—a companion piece to Luger’s Corruption, which is also in the Art Bridges Collection—is a mixed-media clay sculpture depicting an arm severed at the shoulder. The yellow hand curls upward at the wrist with a rigidity that suggests rigor mortis, and single letters incised into each finger in Gothic script spell the work’s title.
