Dana Claxton is a Hunkpapa Lakota artist who is known for her work with film, photography, installation, and performance. Her piece, Red on Red: Ode to Gramsci (2017) will be installed by the Art Museum at University College, where students and faculty will encounter it daily. Red on Red is a collection of eight banners of red fabric printed with dark, sans-serif text. The flags will hang in a corridor where students will pass by them on their way to classes, meals, and social gatherings. The Art Museum’s acquisition of this piece adds Indigenous art to the collection, and complements critical discussions about decolonization of university spaces.
