For too long, stories about Native Americans have been told by non-Native people, whether in movies, TV shows, books or the visual arts.
The exhibition showcases some 100 photos, personal stories and other artworks, collected by Red Road Project founders, Danielle SeeWalker and Carlotta Cardana. The photos document the lives of contemporary Native Americans, from the sweeping landscapes of remote reservations to their living rooms in towns and cities, as they celebrate their communities, traditional practices and achievements, or give voice to the ongoing challenges of historic displacement and oppression.
SeeWalker also joins 'There There' author Orange in the June 1 panel discussion. They will talk about their inspiration and process for creating their work.
The panel discussion will feature leading Native American artists, including Oakland novelist Tommy Orange, Tazbah Chavez, co-creator of the FX series 'Reservation Dogs,' and moderator Jackie Keliiaa, a comedian, writer, and actor.
