Fall Artist Residencies Enrich Our Knowledge

present—and future—in which we need to seek new directions. Although created just a few months ago, it has already won two awards.

Another new piece that will be displayed alongside Berry's bandolier bag is Snake Bottle 18 by Chase Kahwinhut Earles, a Caddo ceramic artist who will come to Atlanta this spring for programming related to his monumental sculpture of a bear that will be installed on the Atlanta Beltline. Earles works both to revive older forms from Caddo pottery and create new ones in futuristic shapes and themes, some inspired by Star Wars. Snake Bottle 18 looks to the past and to the future. As Art on the Atlanta BeltLine Arts and Culture Program Manager Miranda Kyle recounts, "For many Indigenous peoples of the Southeast and their diasporas, the snake is closely associated with the Thunder Beings, rain, power, renewal, death, and wisdom." This small bottle, among other things, becomes a symbol of hope and renewal.

These themes of death, mourning, and new directions allow viewers a moment to collectively pause and mourn those who have died, listen to artists who speak about our moment, and seek new paths together. These and other pieces will be on view in the Americas galleries from mid-March 2022 to March 2023. Z

In the fall of 2021, the Carlos Museum was thrilled to have not one but both artists from the exhibition, Each/Other: Marie Watt and Cannupa Hanska Luger, in residence at the Carlos.

On opening weekend, both artists joined Denver Art Museum curator John Lukavic and Carlos Museum faculty curator Megan E. O'Neil for a conversation that addressed the ways in which these two artists view their work as a collective process of creation focusing on engagement with community, materials, and the land.

From September 23–28, while in residence at the Carlos, Marie Watt (Seneca Nation) brought people together to create art and community. She gave an artist talk and held three sewing circles on the Emory Quad—one for the public, one for Emory students as a part of Student Studio, and one for local emerging artists. She also toured the galleries and discussed her art practice with multiple Emory classes from the Art History, History, English, and Anthropology departments and even held a mini–Sewing Circle in O’Neil’s seminar.

From November 5–13, Cannupa Hanska Luger (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, and Lakota) was in residence at the Carlos, conducting programs for Emory students and the public. He gave artist and gallery talks, met with students in Emory courses, starting with a walk-through George Trakas’s Source Route in the ravine behind the museum, and spoke in the Emory Climate Talks series, exploring the social aspects of global climate change. In addition, Luger and master naturalist and nature photographer Kathryn Kolb led two guided walks, one for the public, in Atlanta's Cascade Springs Nature Preserve, one of the largest areas of old-growth forest in the city, and one for Emory students in Emory’s Lullwater Preserve. Luger and his sons also gave a virtual tour of the exhibition for local school children. Z
