 Online Exhibitions 
Visions and Voices

 

 

JoeyThe website for Visions and Voices is maintained by the Arizona State Museum located on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson.   

         

Visions and Voices    was exhibited in 1998 at the museum.  The exhibit depicts the individual qualities of American Indians in today's society.  Shipman met with each of the participants personally and presented their portraits with quotes from them.    The exhibit portrays Native Americans as human beings with feelings and fears of their own—it does not keep them in the past, but presents them as they are today.  In early 1999, the exhibit traveled to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Later that year it was displayed at the former Carnegie Library near the State Capitol Building.

  

While Visions and Voices depicts the achievements and suffering of man, The Gold in the Modern-Day Spirit of Old denies the concept of man’s self-confidence and glory.
