Alyssa Hinton, whose show \u201cThe Awakening: Parallel Worlds\u201d is on display at UNC\u2019s FedEx Global Education Center, will speak on campus Sept. 12 at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Drawing on the symbolism found in the folklore of her Tuscarora and Osage ancestors, Hinton\u2019s compositions address parallel themes of American Indian cultural reawakening and human kinship with the natural environment. Shaped by her diverse heritage, Hinton uses mixed media as a form of reconciliation for her own eclectic life experiences, blurring boundaries between conventional and digital mediums to create hybrid art forms.\u00a0Her intricate, complex and contemporary works feature traditional and digital collage, digital painting, collaged sculpture and appliqu\u00e9d textiles. Influenced by the traditional Chinese painting techniques she studied in Beijing during the 1980s, Hinton\u2019s art reflects the organic beauty she finds in the elements and often incorporates designs and concepts from Southeastern mound culture.
\nHinton earned her B.F.A. degree from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and her M.A. in Art and Design from North Carolina State University. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Mid-Atlantic\/NEA Regional Painting Fellowship and an Art for Indigenous Survival grant from the United Nations Life Bridge Foundation. Hinton\u2019s work has been exhibited throughout the country and abroad at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian inaugural First Americans Art Market in Washington, D.C., the 2005 Florence Biennale in Italy and \u201cRelations: Indigenous Dialogue\u201d at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe.<\/p>\n

This exhibition will end Dec. 6, 2013, and is hosted by the UNC American Indian Center, American Indian Studies, the Department of American Studies and UNC Global.<\/p>\n

The center, at 301 Pittsboro Street, is at the corner of Pittsboro and McCauley streets. Parking may be available in the garage under the building weekdays after 5 p.m. and on Saturdays.
