Screenprinting Event with Tom Farris

 Join us in the Missy Boaz Woodward ’73 Atrium for a woodblock printing event with artist, Tom Farris. Ferris a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and Otoe-Missouria tribe, draws inspiration from his culture and life-long immersion in the breadth of American Indian artistic traditions. His work celebrates the intersections between Indigenous aesthetics and pop art, particularly that of comics and contemporary culture. His work – often humorous, always smart – invites viewers to question the boundaries of what is “American Indian” art and appreciate the impact of Indigenous influences on pop art.

Location: Missy Boaz Woodward ’73 Atrium, VAC
