We are delighted to host Cara Romero as a Mellon Indigenous Arts Visiting Fellow, November 18-22, 2019. Romero is an award-winning artist who utilizes techniques learned in film, digital, fine art, and commercial photography to produce powerful visual imagery that serves both as social commentary and to bring focus on Indigenous female perspectives. She painstakingly constructs narrative scenes that use pop cultural references to visually critique common stereotypes of Native women and to tell contemporary stories of Native identity.
Romero will give an Artist Talk, Tuesday, November 19, 6:00 PM, at Campbell Hall, room 153. The talk is free and open to the public, no reservation required. A reception will follow. Parking is available at Culbreth Parking Garage. You can visit The Fralin Museum of Art to see her work Kaa, pictured here, on view until January 2020.
