In the last few decades, art historians and other cultural gatekeepers have focused a laser-like beam on the contributions of once overlooked artists from America’s racial and ethnic minorities. In this presentation, we will make the acquaintance of a powerful group of Indigenous artists making their mark on American art. Combining Euro-American and traditional styles and subjects, these contemporary artists—many of them from California--challenge our understanding of our country and our culture, often with wit but always with dynamism. Artists discussed include Harry Fonseca, Gerald Clarke, James Luna, Cara Romero, Rose B Simpson, Wendy Red Star and Jeffrey Gibson.
