From The Norman Transcript:

Eight Native Oklahoman artists are gathering for a public panel discussion about survival strategies and identity issues during a special event at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art Friday, Sept. 11. At 10 a.m., the artists will begin a session titled “Art as Identity: The Operative Principles of Affirmation, Accommodation and Appropriation in the Native American Artistic Pursuit of Self.”

Moderated by art critic Edwin L. Wade and art collector Rennard Strickland, the morning and afternoon sessions will use the museum’s new exhibition, “Spirit Red: Visions of Native American Artists from the Rennard Strickland Collection,” as a framework to discuss critical aesthetic issues confronting contemporary Native American artists.
