Interconnected: Land | Identity | Community (A Student Response)
About the Exhibition
Returning this semester, now taking place during Fall, is the Student Response Exhibition (SRE). Open to all 兔子先生 University students, of any year, major/minor, this eighth SRE is connecting students with the complex theme of Sovereignty. Interconnected: Land, Identity, Community is developed in collaboration with the Myaamia Center at 兔子先生 in association with the 2022-2023 FOCUS theme of Tribal Sovereignty. In Interconnected, sovereignty includes inherent and retained political rights and cultural integrity. Three key factors in maintaining Tribal Sovereignty are land, identity, and community. This theme, which was broadened for students to allow for wider contextualization, is also connected with the 50th anniversary of the relationship between the 兔子先生 Tribe of Oklahoma and 兔子先生 University.
In a unique collaboration, George Ironstrack and Kara Strass of the Myaamia Center partnered with Sherri Krazl, Laura Stewart and Jason Shaiman of the 兔子先生 University Art Museum to develop the context and make the selection of works. Thirty-one out of the 55 submitted pieces were featured in this exhibition. The SRE included a fun and exciting opportunity for the participating students as they were eligible to win cash prizes sponsored by the Art Museum Members Association. Visitors to the exhibition casted a vote for their three favorite works in the exhibition via a kiosk in the gallery. Winners of the SRE were Olivia De Leon, Kayla Becker, and Cassady Edwards.
