SUMMARY:Artist Discussion w/ Chelsea Bighorn
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2024-04-08 \nLocation:  \n3001 Central Street\, Evanston\, IL 60201\, United States \n\nJoin us for our artist discussion about their work and who they are as artists. There will be a live Q&A at the end of each discussion.\nChelsea Bighorn was born and raised in Tempe\, Arizona\, her tribal affiliations are the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes from Montana and the Shoshone-Paiute from Northern Nevada. Bighorn’s hand cut paper artwork is the result of her combining traditional Native American design elements with elements from her Irish American heritage. Using this process\, she tells her personal history through her designs. Bighorn has shown her work at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art\, SITE Santa Fe\, and The Balzar Gallery. She graduated with honors from The Institute of American Indian Arts in 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts. Bighorn currently resides in Chicago\, Illinois where she is attending the School of The Art Institute of Chicago to get her Master of Fine Arts in Fiber and Material Studies. https://chelseabighorn.com/home.html \nArtist Statement  \nI explore art and design in a way that merges natural and geometric elements through a variety of mediums\, including fiber arts and cut paper works. The subject matter varies from abstract to realistically illustrative depending on the concept and series. My most recent series of works are hand-cut paper patterns that resemble screens or stained-glass windows\, which were the original inspiration. In addition to the inspiration drawn from my Catholic roots\, I incorporate traditional beading and weaving patterns from my Native American heritage into my design work. I bring together disparate elements into a design that demonstrates balance and harmony.

Today\, Caldwell’s Band of Prairie People now live in Mayetta\, Kansas as the federally-recognized tribe of Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. This documentary explores these actions through research and interviews with local subject experts.

SUMMARY:Powerlands: In-person Watch Party and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Earth Day and Earth Week\, join us for an in-person watch party of the film Powerlands. A limited number of tickets will be available for this screening on April 23 at 5:00 p.m.\, followed by a discussion at 6:15pm via zoom with filmmaker Ivey Camille Manybeads Tso. The watch party will feature light snacks and refreshments at the Mitchell Museum. \nPowerlands \nA young Navajo filmmaker investigates displacement of Indigenous people and devastation of the environment caused by the same chemical companies that have exploited the land where she was born. On this personal and political journey she learns from Indigenous activists across three continents. Website: https://powerlands.org/ \nFilmmaker: \nIvey-Camille Manybeads Tso – Director Ivey Camille Manybeads Tso is an award-winning queer Navajo filmmaker. She was a fellow with the Firelight Media Documentary Filmmaker Lab\, and the 4th World Indigenous Media Lab. She started making films at the age of 9\, through the Native youth media project Outta Your Backpack Media. At the age of 13 she made the award-winning fiction film In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman\, based in the true story of her great-great-great grandmother Yellow Woman\, who lived through the Navajo Long Walk of 1864-1868. The film screened in over 90 film festivals internationally and won 11 awards. Ivey Camille continued to refine her filmmaking craft with a full scholarship to Idyllwild Arts Academy in California. She later returned home to work on films in her community of Navajo Nation. At the age of 19\, Ivey Camille began work on Powerlands\, her first feature. Powerlands has screened internationally and won several festival awards including the The 2022 Rigoberta Menchú Grand Prize. \nDirectors Statement \nMy grandmother taught me how to stand on the frontlines. She taught me about the ways that my ancestors have resisted displacement since colonial settlers came here. When thinking about how to tell the stories in this film\, I think first about the storytelling traditions I have learned from elders in my community. That is why this story is told through the stories\, voices\, and languages of Indigenous women. \nI started making films at the age of nine\, through the Native youth media project Outta Your Backpack Media. At the age of 13\, I directed In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman\, based in the true story of my great-great-great grandmother Yellow Woman\, who lived through the Navajo Long Walk of 1864- 1868. At the age of 19\, I started Powerlands\, which took six years to film and edit. \nFor too long\, others have been telling our stories. As an Indigenous filmmaker\, I have seen the ways in which our stories are co-opted and stolen. This film is an intervention\, a chance for our stories to be told by us\, in our own languages. \nAll proceeds will support our Indigenous Medicine and Traditional Food Gardens.
