Tom Jones: Encountering Cultures

Opening reception Friday, March 9, 5:30-7:30 pm, with a talk by the artist beginning at 6:30 pm

Photographer Tom Jones’s Encountering Cultures series captures the Rendezvous, historical re-enactments of the French fur trade in North America. This sub-culture has utilized and adopted the material culture of Native Americans, often posing and presenting themselves dressed as Indians. Through turning the camera lens back on these re-enactors, Jones explores their nostalgic romanticization of Native American life.

Gallery hours: Tu-Th 11-5, Fri-Sat 11-9, Sun 1-5. Closed Mondays.
