RECENT EXHIBIT

“Our People, Our Land, Our Images”

featuring indigenous artists

A Program of ExhibitsUSA, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance with the National Endowment for the Arts
 

On Display
September 1, 2011
to Oct. 20, 2011

 This exhibit presents the works of three generations of indigenous photographers from the North America, South America, the Middle East, and New Zealand.  They include newly discovered, nineteenth-century trailblazers, well established contemporary practitioners, and emerging photographers from the next generation.
The fifty-one works in the exhibition tell their stories through differing photographic approaches, ranging from straightforward documentary to aesthetically altered images that combine overlays and collage.  The images stand united, however, in exploring their creators connections to their land, community, and traditions.  Artists' statements accompanying the exhibition convey a variety of indigenous voices and concerns. 
The exhibition is toured by ExhibitsUSA, a national program of Mid-America Arts Alliance.  ExhibitsUSA sends more than 25 exhibitions on tour to more than 100 small- and mid-sized communities every year.
