Summary:
"Delegation" is the first comprehensive monograph by Apsaalooke/Crow artist Wendy Red Star, whose photography recasts historical narratives with wit, candor, and a feminist, Indigenous perspective. Red Star centers Native American life and material culture through self-portraiture, collages, archival interventions, and site-specific installations. Whether referencing nineteenth-century Crow leaders or 1980s pulp fiction, museum collections or family pictures, she constantly questions the role of the photographer in shaping Indigenous representation. Includes an array of Red Star's lens-based works from 2006 to the present, and a range of essays, stories, and poems.
