As an Indigenous artist working with both historic and contemporary processes in photography, Will Wilson (Diné) is endeavoring to recreate a contemporary vision of Native North America. Historically, Edward S. Curtis and other early Euro-Americans used photography as a method of recording the disappearing Native population, which led to the image of Native Americans as frozen in time. Through the Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange series, Wilson is radically altering this static image and engaging with his sitters in the creation of their own contemporary representations.Note: This lecture will not be recorded.
