    Without Permission or Apology: The Life and Career of Mary Edmonia Lewis

    “In the first study of its kind about Lewis’ career, Dr. Buick will illustrate how 19th century mixed African-American and Native American (Mississauga Ojibwe) artist Mary Edmonia Lewis, also known as “Wildfire,” navigated through 19th century U.S. and European cultures. Learn how Lewis’ art was perceived, and how she created distinctly “American” art touching upon themes of indigeneity, sentimentality, gender, and race.”
