Native American artists share their experience in photos and a panel discussion at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center for the Arts
Installation view from “Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project,” presented through June 23 at the Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek. For too long, stories about Native Americans have been told by non-Native people, whether in movies, TV shows, books or the visual arts.
That’s not the case with “Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project,” a stunning exhibition of photos at Walnut Creek’s Bedford Gallery through June 23, or with a June 1 panel discussion, featuring leading Native American artists, including Oakland novelist Tommy Orange.
The exhibition showcases some 100 photos, personal stories and other artworks, collected by Red Road Project founders, Danielle SeeWalker and Carlotta Cardana. The photos document the lives of contemporary Native Americans, from the sweeping landscapes of remote reservations to their living rooms in towns and cities, as they celebrate their communities, traditional practices and achievements, or give voice to the ongoing challenges of historic displacement and oppression.
