Exhibits
Saturday 12 May 2018 10:00am to Wednesday 1 May 2019 4:00pm Drone Warriors: The Art of Surveillance and Resistance at Standing Rock From April 2016 through February 2017, thousands of Native and non-Native people made the North Dakota Plains their home to stand in opposition of the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline. As the protesters faced police, roadblocks and heavy surveillance, a group of photographic drone operators emerged within their ranks, sending their flying cameras up and over barricades to illuminate spaces hidden from the public, unmask the face of force and show the world the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Their images motivated countless Americans to join the resistance, whether in person, on social media or through donations — and kickstarted a new movement of aesthetic protest. Haffenreffer Museum, Manning Hall, 21 Prospect Street. https://www.brown.edu/research/facilities/haffenreffer-museum/drone-warriors-art-surveillance-and-resistance-standing-rock
Saturday 12 May 2018 10:00am to Wednesday 1 May 2019 2:00pm Sacred is Sacred: The Art of Protecting Bears Ears For centuries, Southern Utah’s Bears Ears region was home to Indigenous people who used its plants, animals and other natural materials to make their food, homes and culture. But while the area is rich in history, it’s also rich in oil and gas, and renewed calls for resource extraction threaten its natural and cultural landscape. This moving exhibition of contemporary and past art explores the beauty of Bears Ears and the ways in which Indigenous peoples have learned and healed through their fight to protect it. Haffenreffer Museum, Manning Hall, 21 Prospect Street. https://www.brown.edu/research/facilities/haffenreffer-museum/sacred-sacred-art-protecting-bears-ears
Thursday 3 May 9:00am to Wednesday 31 October 4:00pm
Herstory: Works by Jessica Hill
Black women’s experiences are often left out of histories of slavery, and their contributions at the forefront of social movements are often forgotten. In “Herstory,” Heimark Artist in Residence Jessica Hill explores the ways in which slavery in the U.S. created ideas about race and racial difference that continue to divide our society, with a particular emphasis on women. Through references to folk tales created in the Middle Passage, the rich African American quilting tradition and symbols of slavery, Hill’s work seeks to examine the resilience of black womanhood today. Gallery, Center for the Study of Slavery & Justice, 94 Waterman Street. https://www.brown.edu/initiatives/slavery-and-justice/herstory-works-jessica-hill
