  • Native America: In Translation at Blanton Museum of Art

    Native America: In Translation,' curated by Wendy Red Star, showcases the innovative works of nine Indigenous artists, offering fresh perspectives on memory, identity, and the complex history of photography. Red Star's curation aims to inspire young Native artists by providing them with a diverse range of contemporary works, from photography and installation to multimedia and video. Highlighted artists include the late Cree artist Kimowan Metchewais, known for his Polaroids exploring landscape and language, and Martine Gutierrez, whose self-portraits challenge traditional beauty standards through fashion-ad styled imagery.

    The exhibit encourages a reevaluation of the historical portrayal of Native Americans in photography, fostering a dialogue on citizenship and identity in North America. Featuring artists from various Native nations, such as Rebecca Belmore, Nalikutaar Jacqueline Cleveland, and Duane Linklater, the collection traverses intergenerational viewpoints.
