mark an interest in diversifying the history that’s represented and the stories that are told at the three-decade-old institution.
Sixteen years after the merger between Gene Autry’s Western Heritage Museum and the now defunct Southwest Museum, keeper of one of the most important collections of indigenous art and artifacts in the United States, the Autry has hired Joe D. Horse Capture, a prominent Minnesota-based curator known for producing methodical exhibitions devoted to piecing together indigenous histories atomized by colonization. He will come on board as vice president and curator.
Tyree A. Boyd-Pates, curator of history at the California African American Museum, will move to the Autry as associate curator of Western history, a new position.“This positions the Autry for the future,” said Rick West, the museum’s president and chief executive. “The museum has a mission to address the cultural history of the entire West. It represents a lot of possibility and a great deal of complexity.
“The priority is to ensure that we work with native folk not just in Los Angeles, but beyond that,” Horse Capture said via Skype from the Netherlands, where he is on a fellowship. “The collection is rather deep, so I want to ensure they can have access to the collection ... that we can interface with tribal groups and share information with them and they share information with us. That way we can understand not only what the work is about, but we know that we are taking care of it properly.
