Work & Discussion
“Forays: a metaphysical mapping”
Joan Waltemath presents a series of new drawings in conte, tempera and graphite on Khadi paper. Waltemath will also project images of these studies for her Treaty of 1868 project, funded by Creative Capital in 2012, and guide audience members through the various aspects of her non-linear journey. In 1987 Lakota educator, writer, political activist, Vine Deloria, Jr. issued a challenge to create “new ceremonies” involving Dakota, non-Dakota and the land. Such ceremonies are seen as essential to begin the building of a new shared-history.” The Treaty of 1868 project takes up Deloria’s challenge.
