Home/Land: Wahzhazhe Artists Speak

Beach Museum of Art

Does the land where you were raised shape your concept of home? What if you live in diaspora? How do you name “home?” Wahzhazhe/Osage artists Norman Akers, Anita Fields and Ryan RedCorn explore ideas about home and homeland through a wide range of mediums: painting, print, textile, ceramic, photography and poetry. Forced from Kansas to Oklahoma in the late nineteenth century by U.S. government policies, the Wahzhazhe endured to build a strong sovereign nation. The artists’ stories invite others to consider how history and landscape shape their notions of home, land and belonging.
