New exhibit opens at the museum
A
new exhibit—Sav-
ages and Princesses: The Per-
sistence of Native American
S t e r e o t y p e s —opens this
week at the Museum at
Warm Springs. The show
will run through late May.
Savages and Princesses
examines the ongoing
prevelance of Native
American stereotypes.
“Whether using humor,
subtlety or irony, the telling
is always fiercly honest and
dead-on,” the museum re-
view says.
“Images and styles are
created from traditional,
contemporary and mass
culture forms.”
The review continues:
Items from Savages
and Princesses.
“The exhibition embraces
Native American’s power to
replace stereotypical images
that permeate the current
pop culture landscape.”
The show explores com-
mon stereotypes about Na-
tive peoples that are false-
hoods, followed by the truths
behind them.
“The artists use the un-
expected—humor, emotion
or shock—to encourage
viewers to question and
challenge stereotypes, even
unspoken, unacknowledged
ones.”
The exhibit at the museum
is made possible through
ExhibitsUSA, a national di-
vision of Mid-America Arts
and Alliances, and the Na-
tional Endowment for the
Arts.
The museum is open
Tuesday through Saturday, 9
a.m. to 5 p.m.
