Wendy Red Star: Indian Woman Sitting, 2005

Aperture is pleased to release this special limited-edition photograph by Apsáalooke/Crow artist Wendy Red Star on the occasion of the publication of the artist’s first comprehensive monograph, Delegation. Red Star uses photography to recast historical narratives with wit, candor, and a feminist, Indigenous perspective. This work, from the series Indian Woman, is an early self-portrait, which the artist uses to acknowledge and complicate the power dynamics of Native and European culture. Red Star centers Native American life and material culture through imaginative self-portraiture, vivid collages, archival interventions, and site-specific installations. She is constantly questioning the role of the photographer in shaping Indigenous representation.

Each limited-edition print is hand-packed with great care and ships from New York within 3–5 days.
