Changing The Way We See Native America is a compilation of seventy six portraits from Matika Wilbur's Project 562 that exists to shift the collective consciousness and to encourage the viewer to deeply question the false narratives, stereotypes and typical tropes that define their understanding of Indigenaety. This multimedia exhibit is a small sample of the unprecedented repository of imagery and oral histories Matika established while on the road. Complete with portraits, music, audio interviews and a moving video installation, Matika worked closely with SMC students and Director of The Barrett Gallery, Emily Silver, to build the exhibition from the ground up.
This exhibition is made possible by: Mark & Freya Ivener, SMC Art + Photography Departments, SMC Associated Students, SMC’s Division of Equity, Pathways and Inclusion, SMC Associates, SMC Global Council, SMC Public Policy Institute, & SMC Foundation.
