Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry From Native California October 14, 2010

Like the state of California itself, California native peoples are remarkably diverse with more than 300 languages and distinct geographical centers shaping communities, traditions, ideologies, and ceremonies. 'Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home' is an extraordinary exhibition that brings together California Native artists and poets. Based on the publication by Heyday Books, 'The Dirt is Red Here: Art and Poetry from Native California,' this exhibition shares the lives, stories, songs, and dances of the artists. In this multimedia exhibition, California Indian stories, songs, and dances take form in poetry, paintings, baskets, photographs and sculpture.
