Dignity: Tribes in Transition, Photographs by Dana Gluckstein
Please note: The gallery is closed March 4 - 12 for midterm break.
This stunning exhibition features sixty photographs of Indigenous Peoples by internationally acclaimed artist Dana Gluckstein. Through these black and white portraits spanning three decades, Gluckstein captures the fleeting moment in time when traditional and contemporary cultures collide, and masterfully distills the universality of the human experience while never sacrificing the dignity of the individual. Incorporating the perspectives of Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan, Onondaga Nation, DIGNITY invites visitors to explore issues such as diversity, social justice, environmental stewardship and our global interconnectedness.
Reception: Thursday, January 19, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
...of Black Skin
Finding black skin as subject matter in fine art museums is hard to come by, especially in Columbus. Most representations are paintings of slavery, modern day poverty, or old racist imagery shown as educational materials. Artists like Kehinde Wiley and Mickalene Thomas are a rare commodity in portraiture that celebrates the beauty and pride of black culture. This exhibition of local artists collaborated to take the next step in giving enduring examples of the beauty of black skin.
