Comic Art Indigène
This is where comics and the indigenous meet.
As an art form, comics are poorly understood, underanalyzed, and under-utilized. Created to be disposable yet widely read, comics are often dismissed as primitive and juvenile. Nevertheless, a generation of Native artists has embraced comics as an expressive medium. It is only natural that this marginal art appeals to oftmarginalized indigenous people, for both have been regarded as a primitive and malignant presence on the American landscape.
Like American Indian cultures, comic art is amazingly complex and adaptive. As the first widely-accessible mass media, comics were consumed by Indian people as a recognizable form of storytelling; expressing cultural stories through pictures.
 
 
Storytelling has long been a part of Native American culture. Comic Art Indigène, which opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on May 11, 2008, looks at how storytelling has been used through comics and comic inspired art to express the contemporary Native American experience. Under the larger definition of narrative art, comic art is more related to Native American art traditions than one might expect. The earliest surviving examples of such narrative art is rock art. The historic examples used in the exhibition, such as photographs of rock art, ledger art, and ceramics are meant to link Native American art traditions with contemporary voices.
Making comics and producing art inspired by them is a method of reclaiming the narrative art form of comics and Native American culture from those who would dismiss an art for the masses. Today, Native American artists are reclaiming stereotypes used in earlier comic art depicting Indians as savage, war-like primitives or trusty sidekicks.
The exhibition begins with a photograph of a cartoon from the 13th century. The image of the red, white and blue pictograph of the All American Man, a shield carrying warrior from the Pueblo II period (carbon dated to ca. 1290) will be contrasted to a Jack Kirby drawing of that other red, white and blue shield hurling hero, Captain America. The most recent works will be from 2008. The majority of Indian art will be from 1990 to the present day.
Two-fisted tales of suspense showcasing fantastic heroes and villains interacting with gods old and new have always been a part of Native American Culture. As the first widely accessible mass media, comic strips, and comic books, were consumed by Indian people as a recognizable and legitimate form of storytelling. Stories of humor, adventure and the fantastic depicted through pictures have always been an indigenous practice. Today's Native American scribes grapple with the same topics emboldened with millennia-old cultural traditions, blended with new methods of expression and life in the 21st Century.
Comic Art Indigène examines how American Indian artists articulate identity, reclaim stereotypes, worldview, politics, and culture through the kinetic expression of sequential art. Inspired by this unique medium, using its icons, tropes and dynamism, this is a new world of American Indian art, full of the brash excitement first seen on newsprint a century ago, sometimes unrefined, even crude at times, but never sterile.
A reception hosted by the Women's Board of the Museum of New Mexico will be held on Sunday, May 11, 2008 beginning at 2:00 p.m.

 
Comic Art Indigène
Come mai i nativi americani si trovano tanto a loro agio con la letteratura disegnata? Una domanda del genere sembra essere alla base della mostra Comic Art Indigéne.
 
 
Una domanda del genere sembra essere alla base della mostra Comic Art Indigéne, che si tiene al Museo dell'Arte e della Cultura Indiana dall'11 maggio 2008 al 4 gennaio 2009. Nell'immagine qui accanto si scorge una ipotesi di risposta: perché i nativi americani hanno nella propria cultura l'arte della comunicazione narrativa attraverso il segno e il disegno. Ecco infatti a confronto il Capitan America di Jim Steranko (Captain America 111 del 1969) e un suo precursore creato da un artista sconosciuto nel Pueblo II attorno al 1290.
