A talk with photographer Sarah Sense, who creates innovative photo-weavings that comment on stereotypes in popular culture; tell stories of colonialism, resistance, and resilience; re-indigenize landscapes; and explore identity and family history. Sense cuts materials such as her own landscape photography, images of Hollywood posters, family photos, maps, and manuscripts and reassemnbles the imagery anew using customary basket patterning and techniques fromher Chitimacha and Choctaw heritage.
This talk coincides with the group exhibition that features Sense's works, Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography, currently on view at the Denver Art Museum, open through May 22nd, 2023.
