Block Gallery Exhibition
Sept. 17, 2025 - Jan. 9, 2026
This exhibition aims to showcase the bountiful culture of our North Carolina Indigenous communities. Our featured artist, Alexandra Williams captures the proud cultural history and representation celebrated at the Dix Park Inter-Tribal Pow Wow. Her photography highlights the rich traditions of North Carolina’s original residents to bring visibility to this vibrant community.
Additionally, we’ve partnered with the Triangle Native American Society (TNAS) to feature works by their member artists. Each unique work is rooted in their cultural history and is each artist’s contribution to carrying on traditions with new perspective.

Alexandra Williams (b. 1995, Bergenfield, NJ) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina, working across photography, filmmaking, and aura reading. She is the co-owner of Nine19 Studio, a woman-led photography studio in Downtown Raleigh which she runs alongside creative partner, Kimberly Angel W. Together, they have cultivated an artist-owned business rooted in community, empowerment, creative freedom, and uplifting underrepresented voices.
Her work centers on the sacred act of seeing and being seen. Through intentional, soul-led portraiture, Alexandra creates space for clients to explore their identity, reconnect with their power, and show up as their fullest selves. Her sessions often blur the line between photoshoot and spiritual ceremony, rooted in the belief that imagery can heal, liberate, and affirm.
In 2025, she collaborated with Raleigh Arts and Triangle Native Society on The Art of Native Regalia, a wheatpaste street-art project that highlights her ongoing dedication to cultural storytelling and visual representation. Her work also highlighting the Dix Pow-Wow, was featured on the cover of the 2024 May Issue of Walter Magazine. Through her studio work and community engagement, Williams continues to build a practice centered on visibility, authenticity, and creative liberation.
