| | BOZEMAN DOC SERIES: YANUNI | | |
A vivid cinematic portrait, Yanuni tells the story of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous chief from the Brazilian Amazon who rises from a remote village in the jungle to being appointed Brazil’s first Secretary of Indigenous Rights.
A fearless defender of her people and the rainforest, Juma has survived multiple assassination attempts while confronting illegal gold miners, land-grabbers, and multinational corporations threatening her ancestral land. At her side is Hugo Loss, her husband and the head of Special Operations at IBAMA, Brazil’s environmental protection agency. As Juma fights on the political front, Hugo leads dangerous operations to dismantle illegal mining camps deep in the Amazon—often under armed threat.

THEY ARRIVED LIKE FATE
Rachel Ingel
| | |
Rachel Ingel's They Arrived Like Fate in our Jessie Wilber Gallery
Through printmaking, Rachel Ingel explores a new expression of her original interests in photography and drawing. The print matrix proposes new directions for mark making, and the ink gives new textures and smells. The community of the press room and the skill sharing that happens there creates collaboration in every individual print. The print is a new thing birthed from the conglomerate of community, process, material and idea.
The prints in “They Arrived Like Fate” consider ideas of identity and place, through the lens of tourism and landscape. By layering wildflowers, weeds, and invasive species over pictures of family vacations the artist ruminates on human movement and relationships through metaphors of the natural world. The way we attribute morality to the existence, growth, and movement of plants gives us insight on how we are striving to be present in the world

NOT SO FAR AWAY
Russell Brausch

Russell Brausch's Not So Far Away in our Lobby and Weaver Room Galleries.
"A century of fire suppression, the loss of Indigenous cultural burning, and climate change have created today’s wildfire crisis. It is not a matter of if a fire will come, but when. Federal land employees work tirelessly with little progress, caught between containing fires and restoring damaged landscapes. As hotter, drier climates push fire back into the land through both destruction and controlled burns, my creative process seeks to illuminate this complex history. Through painting, burning, drawing, and textiles, I open different entry points into the wildfire conversation. My research expands on acknowledging and redefining America’s relationship with fire."
