Ho Chunk Artist Lecture / Reception
The Memorial Union Art Gallery is hosting an exhibit by Henry Payer, a Ho Chunk artist enrolled in the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska living in Sioux City, Iowa. Payer’s collage paintings reincorporate traditional objects, forms, and motifs using contemporary methods and techniques. Through his art, Payer challenges the Ho Chunk’s pervasive American identity and interprets the modern Ho Chunk experience.
The exhibit titled “Neutral Ground” will be on display Aug. 26 – Oct. 6. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 1-4 p.m.
Payer will be giving a lecture on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 6 p.m. (MU Room 2630) titled “Historical Narratives from a Ho Chunk Perspective.” A reception will follow in the Memorial Union Art Gallery. Both events are free and open to the public.
