Visualities 2: More Perspectives on Contemporary American Indian Film and Art (American Indian Studies)

Visualities Two is a groundbreaking collection of essays that delve into the diverse perspectives of Indigenous film, video, and art-making from First Nations, Aboriginal Australian, Maori, and Sami peoples.

This insightful volume explores how these creators challenge dominant discourses and resignify media pasts through their innovative works.

With a focus on interdisciplinary approaches, the book draws on American Indian studies, film studies, art history, cultural studies, visual culture studies, women’s studies, and postcolonial studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of Indigenous media in contemporary cultural revitalization.

Featuring essays on influential artists such as Tasha Hubbard, Rachel Perkins, and Ehren “Bear Witness” Thomas, as well as contemporary Inuit artists and Indigenous agents of cultural production, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of media, culture, and identity.
