Sweet Medicine: Photographing American Indian History
Compelling images of historic sites of American Indian conflict with the U. S. government and its citizens form the core of this exhibition featuring the work of photographer Drex Brooks (b. 1952).
Grouped with nineteenth-century photographs that relate to the conflicts pictured in Brooks’ works, the exhibition prompts viewers to question how these sites—and the history of the conflicts that they bring to mind—should be remembered.
