Indigenous Freeways: Southwest Wildstyle from North to South

Mural Exhibition by Arrowsoul Art Collective, Art Through Struggle Gallery

ON VIEW AUGUST 9, 2025-JUNE 28, 2026

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) is honored to collaborate with the Arrowsoul Art Collective, an Indigenous group of artists that ground mural, letter-structure, and graffiti-influenced art in community dialogue, healing, and reciprocity. Their artwork remains rooted in a foundation of mutual understanding and cultural exchange. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Arrowsoul Art Collective breaks down borders and beautifies public spaces through its Indigenous art shop, associated gatherings, and creative convenings. Up and down the Rio Grande, they host community art projects that invite endless innovation in a variety of expressions–visual, sound-based, lyrical, dance, and performance.

Arrowsoul Art Collective creates storied mural paintings on exterior building walls inspired by the evolving meanings of “Future Old School” and “Indigenous Freeways.” Future Old School turns to an understanding of the relevance and critical need for ancestral Indigenous knowledge in today’s world. Indigenous Freeways reflect the need for cultural reciprocity and openness to ongoing change. The artists create new visions of the Southwest landscape through blending letter structures, illustrative architecture, and textured palettes of places of home. Arrowsoul Art Collective’s projects reunite communities along the Rio Grande through creative participation.

Arrowsoul Art Collective’s mural installation fuses concepts of the beginning, present, and future of Indigenous pictographic arts. In the Southwest region, pictographs are painted visual forms on ancestral rocks, often as pigment on basalt. These images record particular moments of Indigenous presence, migration, and history in the area. To the Collective, “The Arrow is used by all Indigenous peoples around the world for hunting and protecting. The Soul is what we are feeding and defending.”

About the Artists:

Arrowsoul Art Collective, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, invites artistic expression and cultural exchange in community gatherings throughout the region. With “Arrowsoul,” or aerosol spray paint, as a primary medium, the Collective nurtures deep connections with the ancestral pictographic arts of Indigenous peoples in the Southwest and beyond. This group of artists grounds their creative practices in arts across all mediums. Their convenings include hiphop, breakdancing, public art, and everything in between. A basis of mentorship for the next generations fuels their work as role models for their communities. Time and time again, Arrowsoul Art Collective both enacts and demonstrates the healing power of artistic creation. They build new relationships across cultures to empower strength, kindness, and care within communities–all with an edge of funk, surprise, and trailblazing.
