Indigenous identity—and a reimagination of what it means to be a citizen in North America—are at the center of the latest exhibition curated by Apsáalooke artist Wendy Red Star at the University of South Florida’s Tampa campus.
This weekend, Sarah Howard, USF Curator of Public Art and Social Practice, leads a gallery tour and talks about the work from nine Indigenous artists including photographer, Rebecca Belmore (work pictured) who “creates powerful reenactments of past performances incorporating organic materials that reference knowledge, labor, and care of the Earth in defiance of state violence of Indigenous people.”
“Native America: In Translation” is at the Contemporary Art Museum at University of South Florida through Dec. 1.
An opening reception is on Friday, Aug. 25, 6:30 p.m., and there’s no cover. There’s also an online conversation with curator Wendy Red Star on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
