Wendy Red Star is a Native American artist working across photography, video, and installation to interrogate the historical representation of Indigenous peoples in American visual culture. Born in 1981, she examines archival photographs and museum collections as sites of colonial power, often inserting herself into historical images or reconstructing scenes from ethnographic documentation. Her practice addresses the politics of display, misrepresentation, and the reclamation of narrative authority within institutions that have long controlled Indigenous identity and memory.
