When Dyani White Hawk visited fall 2023 (just before she won the MacArther Genius grant!) we were able to sit down and chat about her work in the museum’s collection. A video of her speaking specifically about Untitled (All the Colors), and the transcript, are now available online:

Tom Jones, Ho-Chunk Artist
There’s just a little more than a month left to see These Colors Will Not Run, an exhibition that highlights works by Indigenous artists, including Tom Jones (not the musical artist!)
There are many articles about Tom Jones’s work – first, his website: Photography | Tom Jones Ho-chunk. There is also another article in Hyperallergic: Tom Jones Zeroes in on Ho-Chunk Visibility.
Thinking about Veterans Day tomorrow, Nov. 11, 2023, it seems appropriate to focus on Jones’s work in the exhibition which was the source of inspiration for exhibition’s title, and which highlights Native peoples’ involvement in the U.S. Military: Watch this video about Tom Jones’ work
Dyani White Hawk awarded MacArthur Fellowship
Dyani White Hawk recently spoke at the Nerman Museum as a visiting artist in September. We were so thrilled to have her speak with JCCC, Haskell and KU students at this program, which happened right before she was awarded the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship!
