\"Alyssa-Hinton-LSC-Arts-Duhesa-2015-Poster\"<\/p>\n

“Earth Consciousness & Cultural Revelations”<\/strong> is the name of my\u00a030 plus piece art exhibit\u00a0now at the CSU Duhesa Gallery<\/a> (Colorado State University) in Fort Collins. \u00a0Recently, the University flew me out there to attend my reception, give a lecture, a gallery talk and an “Art of Transformation” Hybrid Art workshop.<\/p>\n

This exhibit features work from the \u201cSpiritual Ground\u201d and the \u201cAwakening\u201d series, narrative\u00a0earth conscious works\u00a0which speak to the preservation of both the ecology and indigenous spiritual traditions. Both series bring to light aspects of a distinct but under represented southeastern Native experience, one whose basic world view is rooted in ancient Mississippian mound culture. The show includes informational text panels that I wrote to shed light on this lesser known context.<\/p>\n

It’s been up since May, 2015, and can still be viewed\u00a0at the\u00a0Duhesa Native Gallery<\/a>,\u00a0Lory Student Center until mid-December, 2015.<\/p>\n

I was so happy to have finally made it here because Colorado has been on my mind and on my list for quite some time now. I figured it would be a place where people would be relatively receptive to my art, given that it has a reputation for being environmentally conscious.\u00a0Colorado State<\/a> has a long history, and is officially rated, as one of the nation’s most sustainable universities! They also have a significant Indigenous presence at the school. I feel honored that the art students there chose my work to be a part of this years gallery line up!<\/p>\n

It turns out that with a student body of 30,000 there are\u00a0more than 23,600 bikes on the <\/span>CSU<\/a> campus on a given day!! Seeing all these bikes really blew my mind…I’ve never seen this many bikes in one place\u00a0before….it is definitely an outdoorsy progressive kind of place.<\/span><\/p>\n
