Visual Voices: Contemporary Chickasaw Art
Visual Voices: Contemporary Chickasaw Art
showcases the diversity of expression in
contemporary Chickasaw art
across different media and multiple perspectives. The artworks analyze the complex relationship between contemporary Chickasaw life and
rich tribal history and culture
. Each of the fifteen emerging and established artists demonstrates a personal approach. Many of the artists are inspired by
traditional Chickasaw elements of design
and render them in contemporary materials and aesthetics to create an innovative, thought-provoking visual language. Others investigate tribal stories, belief systems, or family histories and traditions, and how these relate to present-day Chickasaw life.
With more than 45 artworks
reflecting a wide variety of themes, techniques and methods, the exhibition finds balance in the artists’ strong connection to tribal identity as well as his or her distinctly individual and cultural roots.
Among the participating artists are
Brenda Kingery, Paul C. Moore, Kristin Dorsey, Margaret Roach Wheeler, Dustin Mater, Billy Hensley, Norma Howard, Brent Greenwood
and others.
Visual Voices
was co-curated by MoCNA chief curator
Manuela Well-Off-Man
and
Karen Whitecotton
(Citizen Potawatomi Nation).
Visual Voices is made possible by a grant provided by the Chickasaw Nation, assistance from The American Indian Cultural Center and Museum, and guidance from the Chickasaw Artist Board.

Ribbon Skirt Workshop
We had 23 people attend the event, and we were able to have about 15 people start and/or complete skirts. It was a great success! We even had a few men working on skirts, so if we offer ribbon shirt making next semester, I think it will be well attended. There was much learning, loving and laughter all around. As is usual for a sewing circle, a little gossiping tried to emerge, but I put a quick end to that, and redirected the energy to one of positivity and leadership. It was good learning for the students!
