The Land Tells Us Who We Are: Manifest Destiny and the Indigenous Aesthetics of Resistance
David Martinez, associate professor of American Indian Studies at Arizona State University, will discuss works in the current Cargill Hall exhibit "Transmissions: Contemporary American Indian Art 2003-2013" within the context of current American Indian life. To quote Martinez, "The Indigenous artists featured in Transmissions capture that spirit of resistance, demonstrating the diversity of personal visions and values, which derive from an equally diverse Indigenous community, which maintains a plurality of relationships with the world around them."
Presented in collaboration with Bockley Gallery, Minneapolis.
