The Punk Pan-Indian Romantic Comedy

A music-themed talk and performance piece by Indigenous artist, activist and curator of the Museum’s Duality exhibition Gregg Deal. Focused on the music that has moved him throughout his life, Gregg delivers stories and anecdotes that follow a timeline of struggle, survival, and ultimately healing through the power of music. At times upsetting, dramatic and funny, the performance traces how music has affected Gregg’s life from his earliest memories to the present.

About Gregg Deal 

Gregg Deal, (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe) is a multi-disciplinary artist, activist, and “disruptor.” His work is informed by his Native identity and includes exhaustive critiques of American society, politics, popular culture and history. Through paintings, murals, performance work, filmmaking, spoken word, and more, Deal invites the viewer to confront these issues both in the present and the past tense. In a 2018 TED Talk, Deal described his work as “honoring Indigenous experiences, challenging stereotypes, and pushing for accurate representations of Indigenous people in art.” It is in these “disruptions” of stereotypes and ahistorical representations which Deal uses the term to describe his work. Gregg Deal has exhibited his work at notable institutions both locally, nationally, and internationally including the Denver Art Museum, RedLine Gallery, and The Smithsonian Institution. The artist currently lives with his wife and five children along the Front Range of Colorado.
