O Say Can You See
As Colorado commemorates its sesquicentennial, a new fiber art exhibition recognizing the service of Buffalo Soldiers stationed at Fort Garland during Colorado's transition to statehood in 1876. On the morning of August 1, 1876, 9th Cavalry members raised the flag at Fort Garland. O Say Can You See features two elements:
An original 37-flag that flew over Fort Garland immediately prior to statehood
A thoughtful reimagining of the Colorado state flag through the creation of a large-scale fiber collage hand-crafted from reclaimed textiles by artist Chloé Duplessis.
To open the exhibition, there will be a flag raising by current Buffalo Soldier re-enactors, an artist talk by Chloé Duplessis, and Buffalo Soldier presentation by Dennis Moore.
