Bunky Echo-Hawk - Modern Indian Identity

Bunky Echo-Hawk - Modern Indian Identity Modern Indian Identity Event featuring Bunky Echo-Hawk

 2/16/2012 6:30 PM- 8:30 PM

The Center of the American West invites you to a special Modern Indian Identity Event featuring multi-talented artist, activist, and public speaker, Bunky Echo-Hawk.

Historically, many tribes would spend the winter months recounting the year’s hunting and battle exploits. A tribal artist would facilitate the group’s stories, interpreting multiple perspectives of an incident, and applying the group’s true story on a stretched hide, creating a painting for the people. The painting would stand the test of time as a snapshot of their lives and relationship to the universe.

Bunky Echo-Hawk will recreate this experience in an Interactive Live Art show on the CU Boulder Campus. FREE! And open to the public.
