FREE & OPEN TO ALL Native artists overtly and covertly utilize their work in the intergenerational fight for sovereignty. Join WAR CLUB: Native Art and Activism artists Anita Fields, Yatika Fields, and Bob Haozous as they discuss the influence of Native art activists of the past and their effect on the present and future of Native representation in the arts and beyond. Curated by Kalyn Fay Barnoski, Assistant Curator of Native Art,WAR CLUB: Native Art and Activismwill be exhibited at the Philbrook Museum of Art from October 5, 2024, to June 29, 2025. Advance RSVP is required. Bob Haozous is a man with a mission or two. Some thirty years ago, he set out to be a damn good sculptor. He has since achieved this, successfully wedding Native and especially Apache imagery with powerful form and a sharp, unequivocal wit aimed at contemporary American life, at “the white man in all of us.” Between them, he and his father – the deeply respected artist Allan Houser – have defined the range of Native American sculpture. Born in Oklahoma, Anita Fields is a contemporary Native American multi-disciplinary artist of Osage heritage. She is known for her works which combine clay and textile with Osage knowledge systems. Her sculptures have been featured in many solo and group exhibitions, including the 2020-2021 Weaving History Into Art; The Enduring Legacy of Shan Goshorn, Gilcrease Museum, Form and Relation: Contemporary Native Ceramics, Hood Museum, Dartmouth College, the 2018-2020 Hearts of Our People, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the 2018 Art for A New Understanding: Native Voices, 1950’s to Now at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Yatika Fields is an Osage/Cherokee/Creek painter and muralist. While attending the Art Institute of Boston from 2000 to 2004, he became interested in graffiti aesthetics, which has been integral to his knowledge and process, along with landscape painting, and continues to influence his large-scale projects. Fields recently moved to Tulsa as a Fellow in the Tulsa Artist Fellowship. He has lived in Seattle and New York City, where the energy of urban life inspires and feeds the creative force in his artwork. He seeks to influence his viewers to rethink and reshape their relationships to the world around them. His compositions are often spontaneous and left open for interpretation so that multiple stories can be drawn from them. His kaleidoscopic imagery, with its dynamic pop and culture aesthetic, references both historical and contemporary themes. His canvases and murals are alive with movement and filled with images that rely on vibrant colors and swirling patterns to build narratives that carry the eye.
