“In celebration of the recent installation of the painting Grandmother Gestating Father and the Washita River Runs Ribbon-Like, Karen Kramer, Stuart W. and Elizabeth F. Pratt Curator of Native American and Oceanic Art and Culture and Director of the Native American Fellowship Program of the Peabody Essex Museum, will trace the art, life, and legacy of painter, poet, musician, and veteran T.C. Cannon (Kiowa/Caddo, 1946–1978). In a lecture titled “At the Edge of America: The Stunning Art and Life of T. C. Cannon,” Kramer will explore Cannon’s visual language and the key ideas he engaged over his twenty-year career, including dispossession, war, gender and power, and survivance. Cannon’s work also reveals the histories and politics of Native-US relations in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as connections to American art and music of the 1960s–70s and Western art writ large.”
