Shan Goshorn Visits
EBCI artist Shan Goshorn will be a visiting artist at the Oconaluftee Institute for Cultural Arts (OICA) and Western Carolina University during the first week in November.
She will give an artist talk at 3:30 p.m., Tues., Nov. 3 in room 30 of the Fine and Performing Arts Center.
A self-supporting artist for over 15 years, she has exhibited her work extensively across the United States and Canada, and has had work included in exhibitions in China, France, Africa, England, Italy and Sweden. Her artwork is in many major collections including The National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Institute of American Indian Arts, Department of the Interior, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, International Plaza, St. Francis Heart Center.
Her work addresses many contemporary Native American and human rights issues illustrating such timely conflicts as Indians as mascots, stereotypes of Indian people and treaty violations.
Goshorn works in a variety of media. One of her favorites is hand-tinted black and white photography, a process where she applies transparent photo oils directly to the surface of a black and white photograph. She will demonstrate this process and conduct a community workshop on the technique on Thursday, Nov. 5, at OICA, 70 Bingo Loop. This workshop is free and all materials will be provided. Space is limited to 25 participants.
For further information and to reserve a slot in the talk or workshop, please call OICA at 497– 3945.
