All seats for the May 2nd lecture at 11am with Marcus Amerman will need to be reserved, but will be complimentary.
My family had always done the powwow so I had made different items, all the beadwork, all the featherwork … so the ability to put it on clothes, and the ability to work around women who could wear them was enticing. And even the photography and video recording, that started to happen as soon as it was available, recording our shows, and fashion shoots, and so, putting people in the clothes was important too, and then it became in performance too, my fashion actually led to my performance art. We did not have very many models, so I had to fill up time in the time when they were changing dresses, so I invented it was the technoshaman was the first one I did. And then Buffalo Man. I performed it at the Santa Fe Opera and the National Museum of the American Indian.
Join Marcus Amerman on the 2nd of May as he reflects on 40 years of designing and making Indigenous Fashion items. Marcus will talk about the early days of working at IAIA, and contributing to fashion shows, traveling to South Africa and doing fashion exchanges, linking performance to beadwork, beadwork to fashion.
With support from City of Santa Fe, Arts and Culture Department.
