Native America In Translation

Native America: In Translation brings together the work of eight Native artists who explore themes of community, heritage, and the lasting impact of colonialism in North America. Representing a range of nations and affiliations, they reclaim personal and collective stories while reimagining the role of photography in portraying Indigenous communities.

Some of the artists presented in Native America: In Translation are propelled by what the historian Philip J. Deloria describes as “Indigenous indignation”—a demand to reckon with eviction from ancestral lands—while others translate varied inflections of gender and language, as well as the impacts of climate change, into inventive performance-based imagery or investigations into personal and public archives.
