“Yakne Seminoli,” New Works by Seminole Artists Erica Deitz and Brian Zepeda, will launch Native American History Month (November) at History Fort Lauderdale. This collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum will feature fine art and photography reflecting themes of leadership and respect. The exhibit opens with a meet and greet with the award-winning artists at 2 p.m. on October 20 at the New River Inn History Museum. The exhibit will run through January 5.
“History Fort Lauderdale is proud to partner with the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum to showcase the next generation of Native American creators,” said Patricia Zeiler, executive director of History Fort Lauderdale. “Erica and Brian are two burgeoning talents whose visions merge traditional Seminole viewpoints with modern mediums. We are grateful for the immense contributions our indigenous ancestors have made to Fort Lauderdale, culturally and creatively, and we invite the community to learn more through this exhibit.”
