INSIDE ART - Native America: In Translation
The Fall 2023 edition of InsideART focuses on the USFCAM exhibition Native America: In Translation. The exhibition assembles the wide-ranging work of nine Indigenous artists who pose challenging questions about identity and heritage, land rights, and histories of colonialism. Probing the legacies of settler colonialism, and photography’s complex and often fraught role in constructing representation of Native cultures, the exhibition includes works by lens-based artists offering new perspectives on Indigenous identity, reimagining what it means to be a citizen in North America today. Lessons are aligned with curricular and instructional standards of state and national learned bodies in social studies and art education.
The lessons in this edition of InsideART lessons were written by USF College of Education faculty Dr. Bárbara C. Cruz, Professor of Social Science Education and Ashlee Highfill, M.Ed. The program is co-directed by Dr. Cruz and Leslie Elsasser, Curator of Education, USFCAM, with support from Dr. Cheryl Ellerbrock, College of Education and Amy Allison, USFCAM.
