Folk Art Residency: Katrina Mitten (Bead work)

10:30 am to 04:00 pm
Mathers Museum of World Cultures
http://www.mathers.indiana.edu

Demonstrations (10:30 to 11:30 a.m.); Talk Stage (11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.); Demonstrations (2:30 to 4 p.m.)

A member of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, Katrina Mitten was born and raised in Indiana. Although most of the Miami were removed from their ancestral lands, Katrina’s family remained in Huntington County. She learned traditional beadwork by studying family heirlooms and museum artifacts. Her work combines the geometric designs found in Miami ribbon work with the floral patterns of Great Lakes tribes’ beadwork, as she incorporates personal experiences and family stories into her art. Taking inspiration from family and community narratives, Katrina’s artwork continues a storytelling tradition that predates statehood. Through her work, Katrina demonstrates that Miami history and culture is “not something from the past, it is still going on today in the present.” The events will be free and open to the public.

Cost: Free
