Race and performance: Native Americans and their culture

Race and Presentation presents a selection of nineteenth-century Euro-American lithographs with portraits, events, and rituals of the indigenous people of North America from the perspective of postcolonialism, a visual culture interpretation methodology that brings the past and present results of imperialism to the fore. Emphasizing the mutual influence that the colonialists and the tribes have on each other, this exhibition is designed to provide a re-contextualization of these images through the prism of Euro-Indian relations.
