May 11th-January 4th at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, Nex Mexico.
Comic Art Indigéne which opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on May 11, 2008 looks at how storytelling has been used through comics and comic inspired art to express the contemporary Native American experience. Under the larger definition of narrative art, comic art is more related to Native American art traditions than one might expect. The earliest surviving examples of such narrative art is rock art. The historic examples used in the exhibition, such as photographs of rock art, ledger art, and ceramics are meant to link Native American art traditions with contemporary voices.
PoA has a map embedded for anyone in the Southwestern US who can make it.
Ooo, neat. My sister lives near Santa Fe. All I need is to dig up enough gas money to make that long drive, and I can probably get her to drive me down there to look around...
