There will be a live Q&A at the end of each discussion.\nChelsea Bighorn was born and raised in Tempe\, Arizona\, her tribal affiliations are the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes from Montana and the Shoshone-Paiute from Northern Nevada. Bighorn’s hand cut paper artwork is the result of her combining traditional Native American design elements with elements from her Irish American heritage. Using this process\, she tells her personal history through her designs. Bighorn has shown her work at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art\, SITE Santa Fe\, and The Balzar Gallery. She graduated with honors from The Institute of American Indian Arts in 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts. Bighorn currently resides in Chicago\, Illinois where she is attending the School of The Art Institute of Chicago to get her Master of Fine Arts in Fiber and Material Studies. https://chelseabighorn.com/home.html \nArtist Statement  \nI explore art and design in a way that merges natural and geometric elements through a variety of mediums\, including fiber arts and cut paper works. The subject matter varies from abstract to realistically illustrative depending on the concept and series. My most recent series of works are hand-cut paper patterns that resemble screens or stained-glass windows\, which were the original inspiration. In addition to the inspiration drawn from my Catholic roots\, I incorporate traditional beading and weaving patterns from my Native American heritage into my design work. I bring together disparate elements into a design that demonstrates balance and harmony.  \nThis is a free virtual discussion series open to our members\, friends\, and visitors. This program was partially funded by a grant from the Evanston Arts Council and supported by the Illinois Arts Council Agency.  \nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@gichigamiin-museum.org | (847) 475-0911 | www.mitchellmuseum.org/events/  \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. His graphic memoir “Come Home\, Indio” was nominated for an Ignatz and was a finalist for the LA Times Bookprize. His comic-book essay “Paper Cuts”\, done in residency at The Newberry Library\, is currently being taught in several schools and he has worked as a comics illustrator for almost two decades with everyone from Marvel to Heavy Metal. This August his prose will be published in the anticipated “Never Whistle At Night 2: Back For Blood” and he just completed the feature length film “Shank”.
