The first
project to explore the visual art,
poetry and music of one of America's most inventive yet under - recognized contemporary Native American artists, this exhibition will survey Cannon's highly productive but short career; his development of a unique and hybrid visual vocabulary; and his combination of irony and wit with a reverence for community and tradition to interrogate American history and popular culture; as well as the issues wrought by colonialism, hegemony, and
historical amnesia — all through his Native lens.
