This weekend, come and capture the movements of powwow dancing with line, gesture and texture. The museum is participating in this year's The Big Draw! event -- artist Jeffrey Gibson (Mississippi Band Choctaw/Cherokee) will lead the drawing activities.
Larry Yazzie (Diné) and the Native Pride Dancers will be performing. The event is very popular - first come, first served -- and will take place this Saturday, July 18 from 11 am to 4 pm

This is a great event. This is so innovative.
ReplyDeleteIndian dances have inspired artists for ages but there is always the issue of being disrespectful. This is a creative way of dealing with this.
