New exhibit at Intermedia Arts focuses on American Indian identities

A new exhibit at Intermedia Arts entitled “Skin(s)” explores the identities of the Dakota, Ojibwe, Ponca, Lakota, Navajo and other indigenous nations through a variety of mediums — performance, film and online media.

“The ‘Skin(s)’ project was inspired by my desire to give more visibility to Native American people,” dance producer and director Rosy Simas said.

Simas, exhibit curator Heid E. Erdrich and Ojibwe filmmaker Elizabeth Day traveled to San Francisco and Chicago to interview American Indian people about their stories — these accounts and images are part of the exhibit’s film and dance performance.
