Artistic Talk - Gregg Deal

On behalf of Department of Art and Creative Media in Partnership with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Funded by Hispanic Serving Initiatives.



Gregg Deal (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe) will speak about his artistic journey as a Native contemporary artist. His work challenges and critiques the ways in which the representation of Indigenous people in American society have been confined, controlled, and stereotyped. Through his work he creates unapologetic commentary on stereotypes, politics, history, and culture, exploring these conversations through sculpture, painting, installation, performance, murals, and more. His art is purposefully disruptive, seeking to shake ideas while also being a vessel for therapeutic self-healing and self-expression.

Gregg Deal has exhibited nationally and internationally, notably in the Denver Art Museum, and Smithsonian Institution. He has lectured extensively at museums and universities across the country. His appearances include televised specials on PBS’s The Art District, The Daily Show, and Totally Biased with Kamau Bell.

Cybersecurity

On behalf of Information Security Department

In the dynamic realm of social media, where sharing snippets of our lives has become a norm, it's crucial to recognize the potential of the cybersecurity pitfalls. The open sharing of personal information available on social media has made them a prime target for threat actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and provide a precursor that allows them to harvest information, potentially leading to a larger attack. Here are some tips on how to protect yourself and those you are connected to:

Limit Personal Information! - Be mindful of the details you share. Disclosing sensitive information, such as your home address (city you live in), phone number, date of birth, school you attended, or financial data, can inadvertently provide threat actors with ammunition for identity theft. 

Tighten your Privacy settings! - Default privacy settings may expose your posts to a broader audience. Limit the visibility to only those you trust. Relaxed security settings allow bad actors to easily access information on your page without adding you, providing free access to revealing information. 

Disable Location services! - Tagging your location in posts may compromise your physical security. Disable location services for social media apps, particularly when posting from home or while on vacation. This lets bad actors know your home/office may be vacant. Sharing your location provides threat actors with a real time location of you. 

Vigilance against Phishing! - Social media is a breeding ground for cybercriminals who seek to trick users into revealing sensitive information. Exercise skepticism with unsolicited messages or friend requests, avoid clicking suspicious links and ensure you verify the identity of unknown contacts. It is very common to create a profile which mimics that of someone you may know and trust. Exercise skepticism when communicating with information you may find revealing, especially when shared across social media sites. 

Stay vigilant, stay safe, stay aware!
