Creative Industries Discussion: Mariam Ghani

The Schneider Museum of Art had the opportunity to have a Creative Industries Discussion via Zoom with the artist of the current exhibition Partial Reconstructions, Mariam Ghani. Giving an insider perspective on the art that she has created, the chance to see behind the curtain and explore the creative and historical process is rare. Watch the video in the link below and come see the exhibition for yourself before it’s gone.

Another video that can be found on our YouTube channel is a behind the scenes timelapse of our exhibition technician Kayla Nichols (SOU Class of 2022) tracing a projection of Mariam Ghani's Architectural Schematic of the Jirga’s Tent Complex. Learn more about the final product and the context of the piece at the Schneider Museum of Art.

Mark Tansey

Known for his monochromatic work, Mark Tansey is a California born artist. With his father being an art historian, Tansey grew up around art and the impact it can have on people and societies.

With this background knowledge, he uses his art to explore historical, philosophical, and literary references in a new light. Find out more about Mark Tansey, his work, and story in the link below. If you’re interested in seeing one of his pieces in person, come to the Schneider Museum of Art to see his piece Judgment of Paris II in the Entry Gallery today.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
