This powerful performance blending music and spoken word is not to be missed. Then join us for an intimate conversation with Deal about his artistic practice and latest projects. Gregg Deal (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe) is a provocative contemporary artist who challenges Western perceptions of Indigenous people, touching on issues of race, history and stereotypes. Through his work-paintings, murals work, performance art, filmmaking and spoken word-Deal critically examines issues and tells stories of decolonization and appropriation that affect Indian country. Deal's activism exists in his art, as well as his participation in political movements. He has been heavily involved with the media activist movement #changethename, posting a video to Vimeo inviting Indigenous people's commentary on the sports mascots issue in response to mainstream media's attempted erasure of Indigenous voices. Most recently, a photograph of Deal was included in the December 2018 National Geographic Society Magazine article "Native Americans are Recasting Views of Indigenous Life." Deal was Native Arts Artist-in-Residence at Denver Art Museum in 2015-2016 and Artist-In-Residence at UC Berkeley 2017-2018. His art has been exhibited nationally since 2002. Deal has lectured widely at prominent educational institutions and museums, including Denver Art Museum, Dartmouth College Columbia University, and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. His television appearances include PBS's The Art District, The Daily Show and Totally Biased with Kamau Bell. Visit www.greggdeal.com<http://www.greggdeal.com/> for more information.
