OGDENSBURG – Artist in residence at the Frederic Remington Museum, Marjorie Kaniehtonkie Skidders, will give a talk on July 20 at 2 p.m.
A curator talk is set for Saturday, Aug. 3 at 2 p.m.
Throughout her residency, Skidders’s artwork will be on display in the Frederic Remington Art Museum’s Hirschey Family Gallery.
“As a Indigenous photographer, I am always searching for beautiful moments occurring in everyday life. I view every photo shoot as an opportunity to capture those moments and share my Kanienkeha life with the world.”
The talk is free with admission and open to the public, with a reception to follow.
This year, Marjorie will work directly with the Akwesasne Boys & Girls club to bring students to the Museum for photography composition classes. These classes will encourage Mohawk youth to tell their stories and express their identity, experience, perspectives, and culture through photography.
One will be a beginner class for youth children, and the other will be for pre-teen to teen classes for students with some experience with photography. The students will also have a chance to explore Remington’s work with Educator and Museum Experience Manager, Julie Pratt.
As part of her collaboration with the Remington Museum, Kaniehtonkie will curate an exhibition of select Remington works, which will open on Saturday, August 3rd with a public curator talk at 2:00 pm in the Museum’s Addie P. Newell Gallery. A reception will follow.
