Crystal Bridges debuts new Native American exhibit

Head to Crystal Bridges, and check out their newest exhibit. Photographer Will Wilson (Diné) presents an authentic, 21st-century depiction of indigenous culture through his photography, even allowing his subjects to choose the pose, clothing, props and context of each photograph.

This exhibition also features photographs from Edward Curtis, who traveled throughout the western United States between 1907 and 1930 to photograph the traditions and cultures of Native American people. The photographs of Wilson and Curtis offer a chance to see different depictions of Native people and to think about how they’ve been portrayed in photography over the past century.
