Art in Our Lives

The culmination of three seminars at SAR's Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) that brought together Native women artists to discuss the balancing of their art practice with the myriad roles, responsibilities, and commitments they have. The artworks were diverse in media and content and are featured in the plates section of this volume, along with the artist statements that accompanied the pieces in the exhibit. The chapters reflect some of the seminars emerging themes: gender, home/crossing, and art as healing/art as struggle. From publisher description.
