1) US Flags in Plains Beadwork
The use of the US flag in Native American beadwork has a fascinating history, especially as it could be seen as an odd choice of design for a people who violently clashed with the American government for years. This new exhibit by Wyoming State Museum explores the use of the flag through its artifacts, from tribes that used the motif so that their crafts would sell better to non-natives, to those that used it as a distraction technique - a way to keep practising banned cultural traditions under the guise of celebrating 4th of July.
2) Mario Bellini - Italian Beauty
Mario Bellini is an Italian architect who has won the Golden Compass award 8 times. With a career spanning over 60 years, this new exhibit explores his work in design, architecture, installations and more. It also includes a video of his memorable 'kar-a-sutra', a concept car with an assortment of rearrangeable cushions inside a greenhouse — modeled by a troupe of mimes.
