Objects and Meaning: Multiple Perspectives on Native American Art and Culture Do objects hold meaning or does the meaning we attribute to them lie only in the interpretations of the observer? Based on the exhibit in the American Indian Museum at Fruitlands, Objects and Meaning explores how the choices of materials, design, methods of creation, and the people who used them form meaning. And how objects convey different meanings to different people because each comes to it with a perspective that has been shaped by their culture, personal experience, and knowledge. |
