Join curator Joanne Prince for a talk about images of and by Native Americans. You’ll hear about how Native American photographers, from Horace Poolaw in the 1920s to contemporary fine art photographers today, continually break free from romanticised and colonial stereotyping to define their own images, narratives and identities.
