Like
the state of California itself, California Native
peoples are remarkably diverse with over 300 languages
and distinct geographical centers shaping communities,
traditions, ideologies, and ceremonies. “Sing
Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry from
Native California” is an extraordinary exhibition
that brings together California Native artists
and poets. Based on the publication by Heyday
Books The Dirt is Red Here: Art and Poetry
From Native California , this exhibition
shares the lives, stories, songs, and dances of
the artists.
In
this multimedia exhibition, California Indian
stories, songs, and dances take form in poetry,
paintings, baskets, photographs, and sculpture.
