Invitation to the lecture Emily C. Burns, Belonging: Rethinking Native American Art on Display at the World´s Columbian Exposition
Milé kolegyně, milí kolegové,
srdečně zveme na přednášku Emily C. Burns, která je momentálně na SDU v rámci
výzkumného pobytu. Přednáška proběhne 4. prosince od 17:00 Knihovna Hanse
Beltinga a bude v angličtině.
We cordially invite you to the lecture "Belonging: Rethinking Native American
Art on Display at the World´s Columbian Exposition" by art historian Emily C.
Burns, director of Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the
American West. The lecture was arranged in cooperation with the Centre for
Modern Art & Theory and Centre for Early Modern Studies and organized by the
Department of Art History, Masaryk University.
The lecture will be focused on Native American Art. Throughout the World’s
Columbian Exposition in 1893, Native American “artifacts” were on evident
display in the Smithsonian Bureau of American Ethnology pavilion, the Indian
boarding school exhibition, the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West performance, and even
the metalwork company Tiffany & Co.’s display. While these contexts impose
narratives of Native American decline and assimilation, re-thinking this
material culture through the lens of Native American and Indigenous studies as
animate and relational Belongings invites new questions and interpretations
about how Indigenous epistemologies inhere and communicate even within these
restrictive contexts.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 4th December at 5 p.m. in
Hans Belting Library!
Marta Filipová & Tomáš Valeš
