Earlier this year, the Portland Art
Museum featured an important exhibition entitled, "Contemporary Native Photographers and the Edward Curtis
Legacy." The exhibition featured contemporary photographs
by Native American photographers 'in dialogue' with the famous photographs of
North American Indians by Edward Curtis (one of the most significant records of
Native Americans ever produced). One of the contemporary photographers
featured in this exhibition was William (Will) Wilson.
Wilson will be in conversation with Ed Drew this Thursday at the California Historical Society. Click HERE to register.

Will Wilson is a Diné
photographer whose recent project Critical
Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX) involves the creation of new tintype portraits of
Native Americans to "stimulate a critical dialogue and reflection around
the historical and contemporary 'photographic exchange' as it pertains to
Native Americans." The resulting studio of photos from
him and the other artists have been featured in a number of museums, including
the Denver Museum of Art and the New Mexico Museum of Art. Wilson's
work, as part of the Portland Art Museum exhibition, was mentioned in several
reviews, linked below, as well as the following video:
