For Drop-In Drawing we explored the Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer exhibition. Gibson takes inspiration from his Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, pan-Native American culture, alternative subcultures, and autobiographical experiences to explore colonialism and the post-colonial mindest. He works with universal themes of strength, community, love, vulnerability, and survival. We participated in the Denver Art Museum's collection of Instagram photographs #GibsonLikeaHammer and Carleen Brice wrote an article on our session for her blog, "Flex your creative muscles and have fun at Drop-In Drawing."
