TENDER GROUND

Tender Ground invites Indianapolis to engage with archaeology and reflect on what we preserve and how. Inspired by conversations with local archaeologists and research abroad in Rome, where preservation has been negotiated over centuries, the exhibition reflects on Indianapolis as a comparatively young city at the beginning of that conversation.

A special thank you to local archaeologists, the Indianapolis City-County Archives, the Indianapolis Central Public Library, and the British School at Rome Library for their support in the research for this exhibition.
