Tatanka Ohitika (Strong Buffalo) is a Dakota elder and poet from the Sisseton- Wahpeton Oyate. He is a decorated Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran and American Indian Movement (AIM) activist who has traveled around the world performing his work, collecting a million stories and writing a zillion poems, advocating for indigenous peoples across the globe. His trusty sidekick, The Custard Kid, is a quickdraw music magician who colors the edges of their live poetry with layers of spontaneous and playful abandon. Together, they join forces to deliver much needed love medicine to a world in need, with wise words and dirty grooves, accompanied by psychedelic live video projections and interspersed with thoughtful conversation. Live video projections by video artist Brian Dehler.
For Episode #2 of The Buffalo Show, they are joined by special guest artists Ojibwe painter Jim Denomie and Dakota comedian and performer Rob Fairbanks to talk about their art, lives and perspectives. The Buffalo Show series showcases important work by native artists seeking to restore balance to our world.
Jim Denomie is primarily a painter (oil, acrylic and watercolor), but also creates unique works of art in ink, and oil pastel drawings, printmaking, photography, and found object sculpture. He has shown extensively in the U.S. and in Europe in numerous group and solo exhibitions. His work has been placed in the permanent collections of numerous museums as well as many other public and private collections. His newest work, the large scale OZ painting, is currently on exhibition at the Bockley Gallery in Minneapolis (opening May 5).
The Buffalo Show is co-presented by Oyate Hotanin (Voice of the People), Pangea World Theater, Wavelets Creative, and Lake Street Arts.
