Artist Talk: Wendy Red Star in Conversation with Jordan Amirkhani
On March 11th at 6:00 p.m., you are invited to a virtual conversation between artist Wendy Red Star and curator Dr. Jordan Amirkhani.
Wendy Red Star uses photography, performance, fiber arts, and video to recast and interrogate historical narratives. Raised on the Apsáalooke (Crow) reservation in Montana, she draws upon deep research in archives to re-examine primary source photographs and cultural heritage. Her work has been shown and collected by the Met, MASS MoCA, the Portland Museum of Art, and the St. Louis Museum of Art. She guest-edited Aperture’s September 2020 issue on Native American photography.

CUMBERLAND FORESIDE – Sherry lived life with a spirit of adventure, fearlessness, and creativity, which was obvious to everyone she encountered and part of every endeavor she undertook. Whether she was raising her family, teaching Spanish, plying the waters off coastal Maine, or scaling peaks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Sherry was unconventional and imaginative in her approach.
Sherry believed it was important to support organizations and causes that made a difference in her community. She was a docent with the Portland Museum of Art, a Big Sister, and a volunteer for the Hurricane Island Outward Bound program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Eleven organizations in Maine have been awarded a combined $280,000 to enhance performing arts and literature programs with the funding awarded through the National Endowment for the Arts.
The National Endowment for the Arts is an independent federal agency established in 1965 whose funding and support give Americans the opportunity to participate in the arts, exercise their imaginations, and develop their creative capacities.
Through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector, the NEA supports arts learning, affirms and celebrates America’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, and extends its work to promote equal access to the arts in every community across America.
