On loan from the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana Universit y\, it is the first exhibition of its kind at the Stanley Museum of Art\, reimagining the notion of an archive to include personal\, familial\, and community collections depicting the past. \nSpanning the colonial and inde pendence periods in Africa\, historic portraits from public archives often depict family and friends and thus hold deeply personal significance. The exhibition draws on strengths in the Eskenazi Museum’s collection of Ma lick Sidibé’s and Tijani Sitou’s photography from the mid- to late tw entieth century. Sidibé and Sitou became well known within their respecti ve communities in Bamako and Mopti\, both in Mali. Sidibé also garnered g lobal recognition for his portraits of Malians following political indepen dence from France in 1960\, earning his fame as one of the most celebrated photographers from the African continent. \nPortraiture & Archives in Afr ican Photography considers the significance of Sidibé’s and Sitou’s work today. It also traces new directions in portrait photography by conte mporary artists Zohra Opoku\, Ibrahima Thiam\, Hassan Hajjaj\, and Zanele Muholi who engage with portraiture\, archives\, and use photography alongs ide other media like textiles and painting. These six artists work in diff erent parts of Africa— including Ghana\, Senegal\, Mali\, Morocco\, and South Africa—and the African diaspora. Today\, Opoku\, Thiam\, Hajjaj\, and Muholi also actively participate in the global art world by exhibiting in international platforms that connect their practices to larger dialogu es about photography and portraiture. This exhibition offers a new take on Sidibé’s and Sitou’s legacy with Thiam—as both artist and co-curat or— re-inventing their images and reinscribing them with new meaning tod ay. \nA Collaborative Exhibition\n\n\n\nUntitled work from the Portraits “Vintage” series\, 2017. Inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper. 39 11/16 x 31 1/4 inches. Loan from the Eskenazi Museum of Art\, 2024.223. Ibrahima Thiam (Senegalese\, 1976—)\nContemporary artist Ibrahima Thiam guest cur ated this exhibition with Eskenazi Museum curator Allison Martino and Indi ana University faculty Beth Buggenhagen. This was the first time that the Eskenazi Museum invited an artist to serve as an exhibition co-curator. Th rough this collaborative process\, Thiam sought to reinvent the portraitur e tradition in Africa to provide renewed appreciation for African photogra phic archives. This tradition encompasses the work of renowned photographe rs such as Malick Sidibé and Tijani Sitou\, as well as photographs dating back to the arrival of the camera in Saint-Louis\, Senegal\, in 1862. The curators prioritize Thiam’s vision to reimagine African photographic ar chives by placing communities and families\, as they pictured themselves\, at the center. \nThiam and Buggenhagen began working together in Senegal in 2016\, and Thiam first visited Indiana University in 2019 to participat e in a roundtable about his work. He returned in the summer of 2024 for a residency at the Eskenazi Museum of Art to study Sidibé’s and Sitou’s photography and to work on curating the exhibition. Stanley Museum of Art curator Cory Gundlach met Thiam at Dakar in 2022. After acquiring Thiam ’s work for the Stanley Museum of Art in 2023\, he began planning with T hiam and Martino to bring this exhibition to Iowa. Thiam\, Buggenhagen\, a nd Martino worked together to select photographs for the exhibition at Ind iana. The exhibition at Iowa also includes Gundlach’s recent acquisition of work by Hassan Hajjaj and Zanele Muholi. Thiam collaborated on exhibit ion design with staff at the Stanley and Eskenazi museums\, where he also served as curator-in-residence. His vision drove the exhibition narrative\ , foregrounding the perspective of a contemporary photographer. \n \n\n\n\ n\nGallery Hours\nOffice Hours\n\n\nMonday\nClosed\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nT uesday\n10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\n10 a.m.–4:3 0 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nThursday\n10 a.m.–8:00 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m .\n\n\nFriday\n10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nSaturday\n10 a.m. –4:30 p.m.\nClosed\n\n\nSunday\n12:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m.\nClosed\n\n\n\n  \n\nAcknowledgments\nThe Stanley Museum of Art and Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University express gratitude and thanks to Malick Sitou and Dr .

T heir songs lean heavy on real stories\, catchy hooks\, and rhythms built f or crowded dance floors. Fronted by Katie Sires on vocals and rhythm guita r\, with Jesse Cotton on lead guitar\, Johnny Love on bass\, and Luke Sire s on drums\, they were named 2025 Iowa Music Awards Country Artist of the Year\, and were considered for a Grammy after releasing their debut album\ , Ain’t No Shame. Proof that honky tonk is still here and very much aliv e. \nTheir debut album\, Ain’t No Shame\, OUT NOW builds on the success of their 2024 EP\, Two-Steppin’ in the Shower\, which solidified their p lace in the Midwest country music scene. The EP earned widespread recognit ion\, with Iowa Public Radio saying\, “The EP sounds more like Nashville 1964\, not Nashville 2024.” Lonesome Highway\, in a review of “Ain’ t No Shame’ says\, “Katie and the Honky Tonks join the ever-growing ca non of women like Summer Dean\, Emily Nenni\, Sarah Gayle Meech and Kimmi Bitter\, to name but a few\, that are representing genuine honky tonk musi c.” \nhttps://www.katieandthehonkytonks.net/ \n\nBig Begonias took root in 2020\, creating transcendental folk and honky tonk music\, featuring or iginal songs by Gabrielle Kouri. Gabrielle (Awful Purdies) plays guitar\, banjo\, and sings. George Spielbauer (Cedar County Cobras) plays various guitars. Bass guitarist Dave “Chief” Lumberg (Shoe Money\, Mayflies) a nd drummer Daniel Miller (Lake of Wire\, Kleenexgirlwonder) hold down the groove. \nhttps://bigbegonias.bandcamp.com/ \n\nAlex Dupree is a songwrite r based in Austin\, TX. He released his first album in 2005\, a piece of s hambolic bedroom folk made with a group of friends called the Trapdoor Ban d. NPR called it “both poetic and political.” Over the course of three LPs with this group\, and one under the pseudonym Idyl\, Alex would root himself firmly but idiosyncratically in the traditions of American songwri ting. “Sounds continue to unfold in ways that are timeless\,” one revi ewer wrote for Yahoo! Music’s Top 100 Albums of 2007\, “Dupree just ne eded to discover them and dust them off.” During this time\, he was also recording and touring extensively with Zookeeper\, the folk-rock zag of e mo pioneer Chris Simpson (Mineral). \nIn 2013\, Alex moved to Los Angeles to study poetry\, but songs were never far from his mind. He still wrote a nd performed with cosmic country bands Mister Paradise and Dawn & Dupree\, leaning into a Willie Nelson-tinged croon for the bar crowd. He returned\ , more or less\, to his own voice for 2017’s You Winsome\, You Lonesome \, put out on cassette by Keeled Scales. A full release with the label nev er materialized\, and after some time floating between odd writing gigs\, he returned to Austin. \nAlong the way he met Phoenix-based producer Micha el Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble\, Simon Joyner\, Califone). Their collabora tion resulted in the 2022 album Thieves. If You Winsome\, You Lonesome  is a suite of country storytelling (seen through the hazy marine layer of indie rock)\, then Thieves has narrative folk ballads at its heart. In t he words of a UK reviewer\, Alex is “a magician pulling the strings\, so metimes a director setting the scenes” for these campfire stories of “ caves and gangsters\, bodies and bad guys\, untrustworthy divas and the se arch for true love.” \nYou Winsome\, You Lonesome got a belated vinyl p ressing in 2024\, commemorated by a 22-date tour of Texas. Alex’s second album with Michael Krassner\, Talking to the Dog\, is scheduled for rel ease in 2026. \nhttps://alexdupree.com/ LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T062200Z LOCATION:Trumpet Blossom Cafe\, 310 E Prentiss Street\, Iowa City\, IA\, 5 2240\, United States URL:https://downtowniowacity.com/event/katie-the-honky-tonks-big-begonias- alex-dupree/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=cedar-rap ids-ia X-SOURCE-NAME:Iowa City Downtown District X-SOURCE-URL:https://downtowniowacity.com/events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Drag Show @ Studio 13 DTSTART:20260919T030000Z DTEND:20260919T063000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T062200Z UID:10042147-1789768800-1789781400@downtowniowacity.com CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Show Starts @ 10:30 \nDance floor opens up after.
