2 Tuesday, September 24, 2002 Pottery, Arts in Exhibit Give Form to Spirituality Native American film final event of exhibit By Duncan Pittman Staff Writer Spirituality in its physical form is hard to find around campus -but you never know where it might manifest itself. Such was the case this past Thursday afternoon, when the wet noise of smack ing clay echoed across campus as three Native Americans and a group of par ticipants pounded away on lumps of clay as part of “Functional Art from Earth and Fire,” a Cherokee pottery workshop. The workshop was one of several that have been made available since the early September installation of the “art/spirit/art” exhibit in the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence. Randi Davenport, associate director of the Johnston Center and curator of the installation, explained the basic con cept behind the exhibit. “Art/spirit/art is about connecting art, creativity and spirituality,” she said. “It celebrates the physical manifestations of spirituality, which are bom at the inter section of love.” The pottery workshop was instructed by Cherokee artists Davey Arch, Betty Maney and Amanda Swimmer. They provided a group of amateur potters - composed mosdy of UNC stu- H^KENAN-FLAGLER BUSINESS SCHOOL ▼ UNC-CHAPEL HILL Leverage the power of your UNC liberal studies education for career success with a top 5-ranked undergraduate business degree.

Arch, an acclaimed potter and wood carver, revealed the spiritual side to his art. “Pottery-making very much relates to the Native American culture’s belief that everything on Earth is connected,” Arch said. “And in turn, the process is very therapeutic; you can get lost in it.” Such was the attraction for Theda Perdue, professor for sever al courses about Native Americans, who accompanied more than a dozen of her students in the workshop. Perdue offered the workshop as a “1... feel that my faith and my community make creativity possible and vice versa. One can’t exist without the other. ” Malinda Maynor Lumbee Filmmaker participatory extra credit option to her students. The student turnout was a success but perhaps was less than spiritual, as indi cated by one participant who aban doned her clay pot to chat on her cell phone. But clay is not the only medium used in the exhibit. Malinda Maynor, an award-winning Lumbee filmmaker and another featured artist, uses film instead of clay. Maynor’s film, “In the Light of Teach for America U.S. Embassy - Stockholm U.S. Olympic Committee United States Supreme Court Tufts University Masters in Economics UNC Dental Sch ° ol Yale Law Schoo ‘ Arts & Entertainment Reverence,” examines religious freedom for three tribes in the West - the Lakota, the Hopi, and the Wintu. Maynor created her film with her cul ture in mind. “I personally feel that my faith and my community make creativity possible and vice versa,” Maynor said. “One can’t exist without the other.” Arch and Maynor said they value the opportunity that “art/spirit/art” provides to Native American artists, and Davenport expressed hope for greater recognition for such artists and their artwork on campus. “We want to support activities on campus that will appreciate local state groups and engage stu dents in outreach,” Davenport said. She encourages students to attend the screening of Maynor’s film, the last event in the program, to better under stand the culture around Native American spirituality. “In the Light of Reverence” will be screened at 7 p.m. Wednesday in 39 Graham Memorial -but remember to leave your cell phones at home for the utmost spiritual experience.

For the Record In the Sept. 23 issue of The Daily Tar Heel, the headline “Study: Religion cre ates good behavior,” incorrectly states the study’s results. The study states that religion is correlated with good behav ior. In the story titled “Alternative Therapy of Birth Simulation Deemed Hazardous,” it was incorrectly reported that Larry Green practiced rebirthing. Green only underwent the proce dure. The DTH regrets the errors.
