Description

This catalogue accompanied a well-received exhibition organized by the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in 2006 featuring sixty-two self-portraits by indigenous artists from throughout the United States and Canada. The photographs and accompanying essays explore the artists’ communal and cultural connections, and discuss the evolution of self-portraiture as a medium for empowerment and self-representation.
