Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography

October 30, 2022–January 22, 2023

Speaking with Light, organized by the Carter, is one of the first major museum surveys to explore how Indigenous artists have leveraged their lenses to reclaim representation and affirm their existence, perspectives, and trauma. The exhibition features more than 30 artists, 75 photographs, videos, three-dimensional works, and digital activations that forge an investigation into identity, resistance, and belonging.
