Tsinhnahjinnie exhibit extended by popular demand
The Great Plains Art Museum exhibition, "Double Vision: New Works by Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie," has been extended by popular demand through April 17. Guest-curated by 2011 Geske Lectureship presenter Veronica L. Passalacqua, the exhibition features photographic items from the Great Plains Art Museum's permanent collection to create new works of digital collage by Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie.
Tsinhnahjinnie was born into the Bear and Raccoon clans of the Seminole and Muscogee nations, and born for the Tsinajinnie clan of the Dine nation. Exhibited nationally and internationally, photography is one of her primary modes of creative expressions. Tsinhnahjinnie's work in this series draws on the artist's native authority, incorporating vintage photographs of indigenous people. By reclaiming these images through her own expressions, she is creating a new document grounded in a native perspective. more...
