Lecture | Cowboys-n-Indians: Evolving Images of America and 'That Masked Man' from Childhood to Adulthood


Most of us who grew up on American stories remember having played ‘Cowboys and Indians’ as a dramatic more enactment. We’ve read comics on the Cowboy-and-Indian, or seen a Western movie, or had a sheriff badge amongst our toys. But where did Cowboy-and-Indian images begin, and when? Known worldwide because it is a radical evolution, though not acknowledged, the Cowboy-and-Indian is the heartbeat of American mythology, known by many different names and continually metamorphosing with each generation of American Heart and Soul. Speaker M. Jrstenlwa Bradao is a mythologist and folklorist working on images of America from Pre-Contact to the Space age. less

Opening Reception | 4 Photography Shows


Maria Cienfuegas: "I approach my work from the combined influence of art and science. My photographs more emerge from these complementary systems. Within this dynamic I am interested in the social/anthropological aspects. I look for places of remembrance and forgetfulness. Photography is my way of revealing memory, in all its complexity." Steven Gilbert: "Using parts of the Williamsburg Bridge, I have devised spaces for the imagination to play. People can seem merged with nightmarish steel, while girders and bolts can appear alive with human-like figures or suggest landscapes. These photographs are the unforeseen results of combining multiple exposures in the camera, not calculated computer manipulations in post-production; they were all surprises to me at first sight, as perhaps to you now." Carol Julien: "I am a New York City based street photographer continuously inspired by urban environments and the split second capture of life's surprising, unscripted, fleeting moments. I never leave home without a camera in my bag. I work mostly in high contrast black and white, which often mirrors the contrasts I find between people and their surroundings in large city streets." Stephen Rae: "The India I fell for as a grad student in the late 1970's was a country imbued with strength, resolve, determination, and persistence - a will to survive and even thrive amidst abject conditions of social and economic hardship - all in the midst of an ancient environment of high spirituality. My need to rediscover my love affair with India recently drove me back to the wet darkroom, after 25 years, to print my mostly unprinted negatives." less
