“Takuwe” the Lakota word for "Why?" is on view in the Sherman Gallery through April 15. This expansive educational art exhibition is centered on re-imagining the senseless slaughter of 300 Lakotas on Dec. 29, 1890. The exhibition includes songs, visual artworks and poems by 46 contemporary Lakota artists. The artworks range in scale from an imaginative pendant crafted from the tip of a buffalo horn with a fitted, engraved sterling silver cap, to a large, queen-sized fabric quilt that was buried for nearly two months, then disinterred and displayed, uncleaned on the gallery floor.
This exhibit is created and traveled by The Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies (CAIRNS) in Martin, SD.
Straight There and Back: Drawings by Jodi Lightner is on display in the High Gallery through May 15. Lightner is an associate professor of art at Montana State University Billings. Themes in this exhibition examine how architecture coexists with what we are thinking and imagining.
Docent Selections: HMoA Permanent Collection continues in the Bair Gallery through March 2.
