> OUR PEOPLE, OUR LAND, OUR IMAGES > Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK > This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view indigenous peoples through the eyes of indigenous photographers and explores their connections to their land, community and traditions. The various photographic approaches of the artists challenge audiences to examine the stereotypes, politics and histories associated with indigenous peoples. Fifty-one works and 26 artists are featured in the exhibition, organized by guest curator Veronica Passalacqua of the C. N. Gorman Museum at the University of California at Davis. > www.ou.edu/fjjma 405-325-1660 > >
