Author: Rohrbach, John
'Speaking with Light' examines Indigenous artists’ explorations of identity, customary practice and contemporary life, belonging and the belief that Indigenous worldviews can build healthier relationships between people and with the earth. This volume comprises four sections bridged by transitions and ending with a globalisation of the discussion. Texts by key Indigenous scholars are followed by a series of plates illustrating many of the exhibition works. This groundbreaking project summarises how contemporary Indigenous photographers have taken over the conversation about how their cultures and lives are depicted through their dynamic embrace of three interwoven themes: Survivance, Nation and Indigenous Visuality. These photographers enact a key shift away from privileging settler-colonialism, foregrounding instead an Indigenous sense of community and visuality. Artists and photographers include: Nicholas Galanin, Sky Hopinka, Zig Jackson, Kapulani Landgraf, Dylan McLaughlin, Alan Michelson, Shelley Niro, Jolene Rickard, Wendy Red Star, Cara Romero, Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie and Sarah Sense.
ISBN 9781955161046. Radius Books/Amon Carter Museum of American Art. hb. 224 pages. 90 colour ills. 33 x 29 cm.
