Palomar College's Boehm Gallery is currently hosting an exhibit called "Rituals," featuring artwork of Native American dance and other aspects of Native American life. "
The recent remodel of the gallery has offered a relaxing space for the tone of the artwork," said Boehm Gallery Director Joanna Bigfeather.
Bigfeather, a descendent of the Apache tribe herself and hailing from New Mexico, has been the director since January and an instructor of American Indian studies for the past two years."
People have misconceptions about what Native American artists create, they think we only do traditional work like baskets or jewelry making," Bigfeather said. "[Artist] Gerald Clarke has combined the art he's used, the image of the basket mixed with new technology, to display and send a message."
