Jeetin Rangher Last Supper India (2017) [Source]

Jeetin Ranger’s Last Supper, a performance for the first edition of Monsoon In A Bottle is a piece of social commentary – plucking important issues from the tree of problems that are sowed by disparity and the ideals of acceptance.

Last Supper is a piece of satire noting the self-created dented systems and our tolerance towards the same through his engagement with potholes on roads and the water that was collected during Mumbai’s Monsoon. Creating a feeling of extravagance with his large dinner table sans table legs, romantic lighting and abundance of food, Jeetin laid a dining mood with performance artist Katarina Rasic, on a busy road where he rested animal toys around potholes. Through his actions - his aim to extract, absorb and infuse the sense of disparities that are tied in delicate threads of communities, public spaces and class were not understated.

Alejandro Mario Yllanes, b. Bolivia, 1913; d. Mexico, 1960? Self-portrait Number 1 Mexico (1944) Wood engraving  [Source]

Alejandro Mario Yllanes, a Bolivian tin miner turned engraver, painter and muralist, vanished in the late 1940s after winning—but not claiming—the Guggenheim Fellowship. It is believed that he returned to Mexico leaving much of his work behind in New York.

His self-portrait was exhibited as part of a retrospective held at the Ben Shahn Galleries at William Paterson College (Wayne, NJ) in 1992. The exhibition also travelled to the Edith C. Blum Art Institute at Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY). Yllanes’ work had only been shown once before in Mexico when Diego Rivera championed his work and wrote in the 1946 exhibition catalogue that “artists and workers of Mexico should open their arms to […] this Bolivian who endured torture, languished in prison and suffered in exile because of the revolutionary affirmations expressed in his paintings.”

Jacqueline Barnitz, author of Twentieth Century Art of Latin America, writes that Yllanes was one of the few Bolivian artists to take a militant position and that his figures, the Andean peasants, are the “central actors of their own land, in control of their lives.”

Etahdleuh Doanmoe, d. 1888 Self Portrait US (c. 1878) [Source]

Slate says:

These drawings are by Etahdleuh Doanmoe, a Kiowa man who was captured by the U.S. Army in Oklahoma in 1875 and was one of a group of leaders who were selected for removal in order to crush the Southern Plains tribes' resistance to confinement to reservations. Doanmoe and seventy-one other Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Caddo, and Comanche Indians were taken to St. Augustine, Fla., where they were imprisoned at Fort Marion for three years. The men were taught English, dressed in Western clothes, and taught to forsake their former traditions.

The Doanmoe drawings, now held in part at Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and in part at Dickinson College, chronicle this journey in a style at once spare and detailed. The typed captions above the drawings come from Richard Henry Pratt, the Army officer who was in charge of the Indians at Fort Marion, and who later founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Taken together, the images and their captions represent two perspectives: that of a captive forced to move from one world to another, and that of the man who was trying to transform him.
