The exhibit will feature work by Teters as well as the following Native American artists: Norman Akers, Keri Ataumbi, Dorothy Grandbois, Edgar Heap of Birds and C. Maxx Stevens.
“Miner's Canary” features paintings, installations, photography and graphics. Many pieces deal with contemporary Native American issues. This group of artists have exhibited a similar show at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. There will be other events in conjunction with the “Miner's Canary” exhibit, such as a panel discussion on Jan. 17 with some of the artists, and showings of the documentary Amoxtli San Ce Tojuan: We Are One by Roberto Rodriguez and Patrisia Gonzales. Teters will moderate the panel discussion, “Human Resources, Human Exploitation,” from 2-4 p.m. in the Bronco Student Center's Ursa Minor Room.
