Named after a satirical Highlander headline from 1997 this exhibit will explore the beginnings of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Regis through Regis’s archives — review articles, images, and event flyers. Contact dcombe@regis.edu with questions or contributions.
Exhibit: “Supporting Indigenous Sisters - An International Print Exchange”
March 1-31 | Dayton Memorial Library | Hartman Gallery
This portfolio of pieces comes from 16 women artists — 8 of which are Indigenous — to advocate for missing and murdered Indigenous women. The collection also acts as a tangible response to hashtags like #blacklivesmatter, #metoo, #nastywomen, #womenrising, #resist, #nomorestolensister, and #MMIW, which seek to help women collectively share what we have experienced and are still witnessing. Since the creation of this portfolio, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has announced the creation a special unit to investigate missing and murdered Native Americans.
Artists were invited by Melanie Yazzie, professor of art practices and head of printmaking at the University of Colorado, and Catherine Prose, professor of art at Midwestern State University.
