Amanda Lee Savage will discuss anticolonialism and art — remotely.

Exploring Art

By Julie Ray

Clough-Hanson Gallery at Rhodes College is hosting a new series of webinar lectures, “Closer  an We Appear: Art and Sharing Space in a Time of Social Distance.”  is series will look to art and artists to help us think in new ways about sharing space in communities large and small, distant and close.

First in the series is a look at the ways that Native artists have engaged with these issues for generations. Historian and co-founder of Native Rites, Amanda Lee Savage, will talk remotely about art and anticolonialism in the context of the exhibition “Native Voices, 1950s to Now: Art for a New Understanding,” on view through September 26th at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.  e origin story for the United States requires remembering and unremembering during a contentious time in our history, says Savage. “ is selective remembering and forgetting of indigenous people is critical to how the United States imagined itself in the 19th century.”

Savage challenges that origin story. To hear her lecture, a link to this webinar will be emailed to registrants prior to the event and posted on the Clough-Hanson Gallery Facebook page.

In October, the conversation will continue with Cannupa Hanska Luger, whose Mirror Shield Project is on view in the “Native Voices” exhibition and has been used in resistance movements across the country, including Water Protectors in Standing Rock.

More details will be announced soon. Be sure to check the gallery’s Facebook page for the most up-to-date information, or email parsonsj@rhodes.edu.

The Southern Reins Center for Equine Therapy adapts the Jockeys & Juleps fundraiser to fi t a unique time.

Jockeys & Juleps

By Julie Ray

 e Kentucky Derby was rescheduled from May 2nd to September 5th.  e annual Jockeys & Juleps Derby Party bene ting Southern Reins Center for Equine  erapy has followed the lead with a virtual celebration.

Derby enthusiasts have come to expect big hats and minty bourbon drinks from Southern Reins’ annual premier fundraiser.  is year, the organization was inspired by the people they serve at the center who face much greater challenges. Southern Reins approached obstacles head-on and explored them as opportunities that can kindle amazing achievement.  e result is an online silent and live auction, as well as a wine and bourbon pull.  ere is also an opportunity to purchase a Watch Party Package for the Kentucky Derby, which will provide a celebration box to enjoy for the running of the last two races of the Triple Crown from the comfort of home.  e Southern Reins Center started in 2015, and Sara Beth Raab, the center’s development and communications manager, is able to track the growth. “We started with 12 participants, have grown to 250 participants, and trained 836 volunteers.”  anks to generous sponsors, this event normally raises over half the funding for the center to help people with disabilities and hardships.  e goal for this year is to raise $250,000, which will directly fund the essential services that center participants look forward to and bene t greatly from with each visit to the Collierville center or Lynch Farms in DeSoto County.
