We invite you to this in-person conversation and Q&A to celebrate Hoogstraten’s work and the release of her new book\, Dancing for Our Tribe: Potawatomi Tradition in the New Millennium.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPhotographer and Citizen Potawatomi Sharon Hoogstraten has created a permanent record of present-day Potawatomis wearing the traditional regalia passed down through the generations\, but modified to reflect the influence and storytelling of contemporary life:   \n“In the last ten years of photographing and listening to personal stories\, it is regalia that forms the basis of my cultural exploration. Through my portraits\, I know these Potawatomi descendants are living modern lives\, while reflecting deeply on the ancestors whose footsteps we tread on. They are not wearing ‘costumes’ and unlike street clothes\, each dancer knows exactly where their clothing comes from and what it means. In charming ways\, artifacts of modern life make an appearance – a Nike sock\, Converse shoes\, beaded Hello Kitty medallion\, etc. Some are in full regalia\, and others\, just a ribbon shirt. These are contemporary Native people. What is most compelling to me is that they are both preserving and evolving ceremony and handcrafts for the seven generations going forward. I’ve titled this body of work Dancing for Our Tribe—Potawatomi Tradition in the New Millennium in honor of our dancers and because photography is my dance.  \n\n\n\nThis intimate conversation with Sharon Hoogstraten is free for Mitchell Museum Members and $10 for non-members. Admission for Native citizens is always free. Tickets can be purchased onsite. This program was partially funded through a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.    \n For more information about this program\, please contact: info@gichigamiin-museum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org/events/ \n\nRSVP on Eventbrite \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Join us for a screening of the film SHANK\, written\, produced\, and directed by filmmaker Jim Terry\, with music by Peckinslaw. Described as “If Monty Python made John Wick with no money”\, SHANK is a bonkers action comedy you can’t miss. After the conclusion of the film\, there will be a brief discussion featuring artists from the film\, moderated by cast member Aaron Golding. The cast and creative team will reflect on the film’s themes and their experience bringing the piece to life. Light snacks and drinks will be available for purchase\, and all proceeds from this event will directly fund future Sweetest Season programming. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n More Info \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Donate \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Jim Terry is a Ho-Chunk storyteller who’s called Chicago his home for the last ten thousand years or so.

Moderated by the Mitchell Museum’s Josee Starr (Arikara\, Omaha\, Odawa)\, the discussion will explore similarities and differences between the two panelist’s cultures and reflect on their individual experiences followed by a Q&A with the audience.   \nThe panel discussion will take place at the Nordic House Chicago. Attendees to this in-person program will also get to enjoy light refreshments as well as visit the Nordic House’s current exhibit\, Sámi Dreams\, a photography exhibit displaying portraits of Sámi people and their oral histories. The photographer\, Randall Hyman\, will be invited to participate in the panel as well and share his experience in capturing the photographs.  \n \n\n\n\nKurt Seaberg is a Sami-American artist currently residing in Minnesota. He was born in Chicago\, IL\, and studied intaglio and lithography at the University of Minnesota. He has been a working member of Highpoint Center for Printmaking since 2003. Seaberg has dedicated much of his time and creative energy to lithography. He believes one of the tasks of an artist is to remind us where our strength and power lies – in beauty\, community\, and sense of place. Nature has always been a theme and source of inspiration in his work and the particular spiritual qualities he finds there. Seaberg uses his art to connect with his Sami heritage and his father\, who was an artist as well.  https://www.kurtseaberg.com/  \n  \nRandall Hyman is a photographer and journalist who has covered the environment\, culture\, and science worldwide for over 40 years. His photo essays and articles have been featured in many magazines including Smithsonian\, National Geographic Traveler\, and Scandinavian Review. In 2013\, Hyman spent four months travelling the northern coast of Norway as a Fulbright Scholar. In 2015\, as an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellow\, he was drawn to the impact of climate change on Norway’s human population\, especially its indigenous Sami. Determined to tell their story\, Hyman spent a month travelling across Finnmark in 2018 photographing and speaking with a wide range of Sami individuals\, from herdsmen to artists to politicians. https://www.randallhyman.com/  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@gichigamiin-museum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Join us for a screening of the film SHANK\, written\, produced\, and directed by filmmaker Jim Terry\, with music by Peckinslaw.
