An art installation by Amelia Winger-Bearskin and Carlin Wing. The exhibit is made up of video, photographs, story-telling and an installation that provide an opportunity for the audience to participate in commemorating the life of Lyncoya, the adopted Creek Indian son of President Andrew Jackson. Each participant will be given a sachet of native flower seeds to scatter.

Changement de Pieds is the second in a three part series inspired by the role of the Hermitage as a historical site within the local community. The first exhibition, Unusual Sympathy was at Gallery F at Scarritt Bennett this past February. The third and final part of the series will be a video installation at Hermitage on May 17th in conjunction with the Enslaved Memorial Dedication Ceremony.

Opening reception: Saturday, May 9 from 2:00pm-6:00pm with performances throughout the opening by Native American storyteller, Charlene Winger-Bearskin.

Free Roundtable discussion: Thursday, May 21 from 7:00pm-9:00pm. As part of Changement de Pieds: facts and fictions for the Hermitage, the second of two exhibitions by Carlin Wing and Amelia Winger-Bearskin, there will be a roundtable discussion with the artists and members of the community. The goal of the discussion will be to use the history that the exhibition draws on to activate a conversation about the current state of our nation and present day concerns in Nashville.
