Indigenous Visual and Material Culture of North America

3 credits · Undergraduate

Ceremonial and creative expression has been part of Indigenous cultures since time immemorial. However, only in recent years have these forms of expression been considered by art historians and historians for their beauty and importance. This course explores Indigenous visual and material culture from pre-contact to present, and from east to west coasts across Turtle Island (North America), engaging with themes of the Ancient World, colonialism, inclusion, regionalism, artistic crossroads, modernity, power, and cross-cultural exchanges.
