Yet, settler and Indigenous nations, families, and communities are not always respectful and inclusive of 2SQI individuals.&nbsp;Indigenous queer and Two-Spirit issues are discussed infrequently within Native American studies or in Native communities and marginalized in LGBTQIA+ discourse. Sexuality, since colonial contact, has judgment, normalizing, and disciplining ideas attached to it, and no one wants to say the wrong thing, but taking the time to explore queer Indigenous sexual identities, and the associated vernacular (2SQI, Two-Spirit, 2Spirit, Indiqueer, Indequeer) illustrates the beauty of acceptance and decolonizing concepts of community and inclusion.</span></p><p><span>Dr. Chris Finley is a member of the Colville Confederated Tribes in what is now known as Eastern Washington.

These painters often deployed broad fields of color in hues that were based on visible observation, but sometimes not. What was the meaning of color to these artists? Was the application of pigment meaningful in the contests to territory that erupted after the Spanish invasion of the sixteenth century? Was it a form of ecological knowledge? In this talk, art historian Barbara Mundy explores the image-making traditions of Central Mexican Indigenous communities and their relationship to ecological knowledge and the possession of territory.</p><p>About the speaker: Barbara E. Mundy is the Donald and Martha Robertson Chair in Latin American Art History, Tulane University. Her scholarship dwells in zones of contact between Native peoples and settler colonists as they forged new visual cultures in the Americas. Mundy’s interest in the social construction of space and its imaginary bore fruit in her first book, <em>The Mapping of New Spain</em>. More recently, <em>The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, the Life of Mexico City</em> draws on Mexica texts and representations to counter a colonialist historiography, revealing the city’s nature as an Indigenous city through the sixteenth century. Her current research focuses on the production of books in the sixteenth century in New Spain, with particular emphasis on the books of Nahuatl speakers in the Basin of Mexico.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-newsletter-section-article "> <div id="feature-article-media-img-1" class="feature-article-img"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/artandarthistory/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-08/MV5BM2I5NTYyOTAtZDliYy00ZGE4LTk3MGMtNTdmNTQ2YmU0NzQ4XkEyXkFqcGc%40._V1_.jpg?itok=qhek8w9s" width="1500" height="846" alt="David Valesco"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="feature-article-user-title-1"> <h3> <div>David Velasco: Visiting Artist &amp; Scholars Program</div> </h3> </div> <div class="article-summary" id="feature-article-summary-user-text-1"> <div><p><strong>Monday, November 10th at 4:00 PM</strong><br><strong>Visual Arts Complex auditorium, 1B20</strong></p><p><span>David Velasco is an American editor.

Eschewing categorization, his expansive, nomadic body of work traverses the forms of photographs, artist books, performances, the Internet, mail art, sound, rubber stamps, gastronomy, and natural environments. His work examines questions of distance between places, people and time in order to test the possibilities of appropriating, undermining or even erasing these distances. Using image, text and objects, his works circulate and operate independently of himself, penetrating ever more effectively the intimate sphere. When encountering his works– in the postal system, libraries, or the airport lost-and-found services– our attention to the infinitesimal, inherent loopholes and alternative logics, and the imaginary comes to the fore. Like lullabies impressed upon our minds, Horvitz deploys art as both objects of contemplation and as viral or systemic tools to affect change on a personal scale. Horvitz makes fictions that insert themselves surreptitiously into the real.</p><p>His work was exhibited in venues such as: SITE Santa Fe; High Line Art, New York; MoMA, New York; New Museum, New York; SF MOMA, San Francisco; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; HangarBicocca, Milan; Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary; Brooklyn Museum, among others.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-newsletter-section-article "> <div id="feature-article-media-img-2" class="feature-article-img"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/artandarthistory/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-10/A%20IS%20FOR%20ANT.jpg?itok=lXmsg-W8" width="1500" height="1500" alt="Thomas Edison Film Fest"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="feature-article-user-title-2"> <h3> <div>Special Event: Thomas Edison Film Festival Screening!</div> </h3> </div> <div class="article-summary" id="feature-article-summary-user-text-2"> <p><strong>Monday, October 20th at 4:00 PM</strong><br><strong>Visual Arts Complex auditorium, 1B20</strong></p><p><span>Director of the Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium, Jane Steuerwald will screen a curated selection of the best short videos from the Thomas Edison Film Festival.</span></p><p><span>Since 1981, the mission of the Thomas Edison Film Festival (TEFF) has been to promote innovation in the art of the moving image, and the films that are the centerpiece of the festival honor Edison’s vision.

She employs both, using them simultaneously to unfold the implied relationship between narrative time and painterly process. Gendel’s early work derived from her background in underground comics, a medium of “sequential image” storytelling, which she drew in the late ’90s for an upstart feminist webzine for teenage girls.</p><p>Gendel received her BFA in 1996 from Washington University, St. Louis, MO and her MFA in 1998 from Yale University, New Haven, CT. Recent solo exhibitions of her work have been shown at the Jeff Bailey Gallery in New York City, Loyal Gallery in Malmö, Sweden and Bryan Miller Gallery in Houston, TX. Her work is included in the collections of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, CT and the Progressive Collection and has been written about in&nbsp;<em>Art in America</em>,&nbsp;<em>Artforum</em>,&nbsp;<em>The New York Times</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>The New Yorker</em>.
