The Ho-Chunk People presented by Tom Jones II (Ho-Chunk)

Description

Tom Jones is an artist, curator, writer, and educator. His photography and other artwork is a commentary on American Indian identity, experience, and perception. It examines how American Indian culture is represented through popular culture and raises questions about these depictions of identity by non-natives and Natives alike. He is engaged in an ongoing photographic essay exploring the contemporary life of his tribe, the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Jones co-authored the book “People of the Big Voice: Photographs of Ho-Chunk Families” by Charles Van Schaick, 1879–1943. He is the co-curator for the exhibition “For a Love of His People: The Photography of Horace Poolaw” for the National Museum of the American Indian. He was also a contributing author to the companion publication to that exhibition. He graduated with a BFA in painting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an MFA in photography, and an MA in museum studies from Columbia College in Chicago, Illinois, and is now professor of photography, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Jones’ presentation is followed by a conversation with David W. Penney, Associate Director of Museum Scholarship, Exhibitions, and Public Engagement at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.
