We Were There! Our Trail of Tears! By artist Donald Corpier Starr

 

""Finding My Heritage: Cherokee Freedmen, A Visual Account" Exhibition"

On display Starting Dec. 21, 2024

 

An Installation by Donald Corpier Starr on display Dec. 21, 2024, through Feb. 28, 2025.
Meet-the-artist reception Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024 | 2-5 p.m.

 

"My father’s family were *Cherokee Freedmen, *who were former black slaves of the Cherokee Nation. Growing up in the Starr household, I did not know his history until well after his death. He was born in 1902 and never spoke of his childhood growing up in the Indian Territories in the early 1900s. In 1866, there was a treaty with the Union and the Cherokee Nation when the Civil War ended. The treaty mandated Cherokee Freedmen be recognized as members of the Nation. Cherokee Freedmen descendants weren’t recognized as true Nation members until 2017, after a long class-action court battle in the Cherokee Nation and United States court systems. We, as Cherokee Freedmen, have a long hidden history as chattel slaves in the Cherokee Nation. This exhibit is my attempt as a Cherokee artist of Freedmen descent, to uncover my father’s hidden Cherokee heritage through my art.”

"Rainbow Spotting "Installation by Sara Jean Odam

On Display Through March 2025

"Rainbow Spotting "is inspired by the artist’s experiences teaching a small group of young children at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, while newly living in Las Vegas. Anxieties were prevalent amongst the grown-ups at that time, as parents struggled to determine how best to keep their kids safe. Amidst the swirling daily barrage of stress-inducing news and nail-biting decisions to make, the kids just wanted to play. Regardless of what was going on, if a rainbow suddenly appeared in her classroom, everyone paused and expressed delight at spotting this amazing discovery, which was fleeting and could easily be missed while trying to get “important work” done. Every time a moment like this occurred, it was an offering for her grown-up mind, body and spirit to pause and experience some childlike joy and wonder, especially during a time of great suffering.

"Rainbow Spotting" offers up painterly, brushy, soft-textured cerulean blues and a charged fluorescent safety orange, chosen to echo the vast desert sky alongside the construction cones and signage alerting their presence everywhere on the streets of Vegas. Paired with the tear-shaped suncatcher prisms, the resulting rainbows generate an opportunity for a moment of joy, wonder and hope during a time of global anxiety for passersby going about their everyday business.

 

Sara Jean Odam is a painter and educator interested in performance, observation and transformation. Born in 1980 in Chicago, Illinois, she is a Midwesterner at heart and spent 20 formative years studying and working as a painter on the east coast, primarily in Brooklyn, before landing in Vegas in 2020. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Boston University. Her work has been exhibited in Boston, Massachusetts; Brooklyn, New York; and at Available Space Art Projects and The Marjorie Barrick Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her work also has been commissioned for television, Broadway and several circus productions. She is currently part of the 2024-2025 Canopy Program Cohort through NYC Crit Club.
