SUMMARY:Thawing the Frozen Indian: From Tobacco to ‘Top Model’
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Thawing the Frozen Indian: From Tobacco to ‘Top Model’=0D=0AEvent Url: http://arttixri.com/event/detail/441596481=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-05-09=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-05-09=0D=0A=0D=0AIn this exhibit, curated by students of ETHN1890N, students attempt to raise awareness around the complicated history of misrepresentation of Native Americans both inside museums and beyond their walls.  They take cues from a larger movement that is actively confronting the complex, and often painful, history of cultural conquest in order to foster conversation around three categories of objects and images: racist stereotypes, mass produced cultural appropriations, and contemporary Native art.  In this last and final section they provide examples of the “unfrozen Indian,” art that combines the traditional and the modern in Native American life today.  There are no easy answers to the question raised here.  But we believe that the conversation itself matters.  Students and staff encourage you to respond in your own way and participate in our public forum.  The exhibit opening reception will be held on May 9 at 6 p.m.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:6:00 p.m.
