Description

Delegation is the first comprehensive monograph by Apsalooke/Crow artist Wendy Red Star, whose photography recasts historical narratives with wit, candour, and a feminist, Indigenous perspective.

Red Star centres Native American life and material culture through imaginative self-portraiture, vivid 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.

Including a dynamic array of Red Star's lens-based works from 2006 to the present, and a range of essays, stories, and poems, Delegation is a spirited testament to an influential artist's singular vision.
