Indian–Pop–Politics: The Rise and Fall of a Native American Art Movement
O'KEEFFE FELLOW LECTURE
Wednesday, April 19, 5:30 PM
Join us for an introduction to Indian Pop, an international art movement of the 1960s and 1970s that began at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA). Indian Pop had a profound impact on the visibility of Native peoples during the Red Power period, before the movement declined in the mid-1970s. This discussion will cover the cultural factors that led to Indian Pop, the teachers and students involved, and the work and career trajectories of some of Indian Pop’s major artists, including Billy War Soldier Soza, T.C. Cannon, Peter B. Jones, and Fritz Scholder. Presented by Kristine Ronan, postdoctoral Research Center Fellow; Ph.D., History of Art, University of Michigan.
Dr. Kristine Ronan is an art historian, writer, editor, and educator. She earned a B.A. in American Studies from Yale University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Native American and American art histories from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation, “Buffalo Dancer: The Biography of an Image,” tracked a single image from its creation in Indian Country in 1834 to its many lives in today’s Native and non-Native communities. Ms. Ronan’s research has received funding from the University of Michigan, the National Museum of the American Indian, the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Luce Foundation/ACLS, the Autry Museum of the West, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center, where she is currently a postdoctoral fellow.
Presented in partnership with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
