OklaDADA, a Native Arts support group, requests voluntary public participation from Oklahoma tribal citizens by submitting digital images of themselves, friends and family pictured by signage which demarcates land belonging to Oklahoma American Indian Nations. Other personal or family images, which portray your own current reality relating to tribal land, are invited. The images are expected to become a part of a November art exhibition, sponsored by OklaDADA, in downtown Oklahoma City at IAO Gallery. Ramsey and Rodriguez ask that submissions include the image, names, date, and a short caption about your reason(s) for crossing the boundary in your image at that particular time, either your own Nation's boundary line or crossing another tribal Nation's boundary.
For more information or to submit images, please email: ramsey@ou.edu and mailto:KimDRodriguez@gmail.com
