Winter lecture: Native American photographers

Popular historical depictions by early colonial photographers have fixed in time ideas about Native American life. In this talk we will see how Native American photographers, from Horace Poolaw in the 1920’s to contemporary fine artists such as Cara Romero, break free from romanticised and colonial stereotyping. They create modern narratives from within tribal communities, where native people hold the cameras and present themselves as empowered, complex and contemporary individuals. Speaker: Joanne Prince, Rainmaker Gallery Please note, the winter lectures take place at Priory Road Lecture Theatre. Parking can be difficult so please arrive an extra 15 minutes to allow plenty of time.
