Join us for a Women’s History Month lecture and conversation with Philip J Deloria, Leverett Saltonstall Professor of History at Harvard University, as he discusses the work of his great-aunt, Dakota Sioux artist Mary Sully. Deloria’s research on the family archive reclaimed Sully for art history, and his lecture will draw from his book Becoming Mary Sully, exploring Sully’s portfolio to think through her distinctive voice as a self-taught artist on the margins of the artistic establishment and her relationship with modernism. Interpreting Sully’s work as an anti-colonial aesthetic that brings together representation, symbolism, and abstraction, the lecture and conversation will focus on how reinserting and reclaiming figures such as Sully asks us to reckon with the limitations of traditional art history and to actively reimagine the canon from an Indigenous perspective.
