Amelia Winger-Bearskin has cooked up a primordial stew of artists for "In the Heavens Of Our Imagination" a show about myth, mystery and the beginning of time.

Wendy Red Star's magical costumes are what happens when the height of Motown glam meets Crow Indian Pow-Wow costumes.

These costumes are suspended in space with the help of a sculptural installation by Winger-Bearskin and Justin Farris Braun, who were inspired to make this work
while creating aerial sculptures above the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Emily Mae Smith and Adam Henry, Brooklyn based painters, will share their washes and watercolors whose soft curvaceous forms bring out delicate musings on creation, space and time.

Amelia Winger-Bearskin's new video, "Creation Story" retells the Iroquois creation myth at the same time deconstructing the art of storytelling and the importance of myth in shaping what is to come.

From Winger-Bearskin's curator's statement:

It is my great great grand son who is taught to believe in myth and
science, in heaven and hell. He will explore the stars and look for
the places that the past has spoken about: the dancers who make
constellations, the turtle’s back, the 7 day miracle, he will wonder
about science in hushed places in his mind. In the heavens of our
imagination the children of the future are waiting for the beginning
of the world.
