Red Reflections of Life borrows its >> name from artist and Cal Arts alum Richard Ray Whitman (Yuchi/Creek). As a >> young student of painting and film, Whitman participated in a documentary >> produced by the Institute of American Indian Arts titled "Red Reflections" >> (1969). He continued working with community driven films, ultimately >> developing a mixed-media body of work critiquing U.S. aggression toward >> cultural, political, and institutional sovereignty of American Indians. His >> interrogation of Native American survival is too mirrored in his dedication >> to social work and form of creative practice. >> >> Red Reflections of Life echoes Whitman's urgency and refusal of cultural >> and institutional mores. Our goals include expansion of American Indian >> work in both academic and creative discourse, investigation of >> multiplicities of American Indian narrative(s), and destabilization of >> conventional history telling and memory making. >> >> >> RED REFLECTIONS OF LIFE SCHEDULE >> >> MON 3.30.15 - FRI 4.3.15 >> >> Mon 3.30 // A COMMON EXPERIENCE >> >> 7:00 - 9:00 PM >> >> Gallery A402 >> >> Tues 3.31 // LIVING ARCHITECTURE >> >> 7:00 - 9:00 PM >> >> Gallery A402 >> >> Wed 4.1 // HOW A PEOPLE LIVE >> >> 1:00 - 4:00 PM >> >> Bijou Theater >> >> Thurs 4.2 // INTREPID SHADOWS >> >> 9:00 - 10:45 PM >> >> Gallery A402 >> >> Fri 4.3 // 270 YEARS OF RESISTANCE >> >> 1:00 - 4:00 PM >> >> Bijou Theater >> >> _______________________________________________ >> FrameWorks mailing list >> FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com >> https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks >> >> > > > -- > ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ > > Sasha Waters Freyer > Chair, Department of Photography & Film > VCU School of the Arts > 325 N.
