Until there is Nothing Left to Forgive
“Until There is Nothing Left to Forgive” is an experience of illustrations, songs and memory created by internationally acclaimed artist Zahra Marwan and renowned soprano and songmaker Tara Khozein. The tea party-concert-art show is an exploration of Marwan and Khozein’s Persian heritage and their exchange of memories through conversations and writings that have resulted in a collection of paintings and songs.

Chantel Foretich
Chantel Foretich is an American artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico and George West, Texas. Her works are mostly small-scale versions of real, imagined and literary scenes, mechanized and illuminated with various motors and lights. The shrunken places are charged in some way, built because of their accumulated history, fleeting exchange, idea, offer of respite, or role in violence. Each can be thought of as a constructed relic, almost small enough to imagine inside a human body, sized in the same way that memories recede, but fill the body upon recollection.

In the Studio with Terran Last Gun
“My work is focused on color and form, and how they interact with one another,” says Piikani(Blackfeet) citizen and visual artist Terran Last Gun. The Piikani of Montana are one of four nations that make up the Blackfoot Confederacy and are collectively referred to as the Niitsitapi (Real People). Last Gun’s work is deeply influenced by his cultural heritage, particularly Blackfoot painted lodges, hides, war shirts, and archaeology throughout Montana and Alberta. His work explores the relationships between color, shape, land, cosmos, cultural narratives, and personal experiences, which he describes as the “building blocks of my art practice.” He works with a range of media including printmaking, painting, photography, and ledger drawing. His upcoming show at Hecho a Mano will feature a new body of ledger drawings, a medium that has been the focus of his work for the past several years. Its history dates back to at least the 1860s, when it was being developed by incarcerated Great Plains people who created narrative works of art using whatever materials they could access: “usually sheets of paper that were torn out of ledger books and given to these prisoners,” Last Gun explains, as well as crayons, colored pencils, and sometimes watercolors. “Ledger art is very unique to Indigenous people,” Last Gun says, interpreting the art form as an expression of resourcefulness in documenting experience. Last Gun’s own ledger art is more geometric than representational, yet still functions as a kind of eloquent record. “I am often pondering how we relate to color and form, both individually and collectively as human beings,” he says.

WISC Artist-in-Residence Samantha Manion-Chavez
Samantha Manion-Chavez’s practice reanimates the Latin folk art of Colcha Embroidery that was invented in the rural Española Valley of New Mexico more than four hundred years ago. Manion-Chavez removes this historic medium and other feminine crafts from the safety of the home and places them into chaotic, organic landscapes. Exposed to the elements of rain, wind, and sun the handmade textiles become an active collaboration between artist and nature. As the fiber object occupies open space of the Natural World it is subject to the will of the elements and chance highlighting the vulnerability of Man. These experimental works activated by the forces of nature seek to explore the tension between Man and the Wild, the greatest archetype we’ve ever known.
