Traditional/Contemporary: Perspectives on Native American Art
G. Peter Jemison (Seneca, Heron Clan), "Red Power", 1973, acrylic on canvas. Tia Collection, Santa Fe, NM; James Hart Photography.
Join us for an interdisciplinary roundtable discussion about the contemporaneity of Indigenous artistic practices alongside traditional forms, in conjunction with the Zimmerli’s major special exhibition Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always.
We will be joined by Joe Baker (artist, educator, curator and co-founder of the Lenape Center in NYC) and Lou Cornum (Assistant Professor of Native American Studies, New York University) as they share their perspectives on the exhibition.
Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always is organized by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, artist and curator.
The exhibition, publication, and correlating public programs are supported by National Endowment for the Arts, Nissan Foundation, the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners through a grant award from the Middlesex County Cultural and Arts Trust Fund, and Rutgers University.
