Pertaining to these works, each piece reflected the a plethora of stories of which were highly remarkable. "The Diplomats of the Crow Nation", exhibit displayed pictures pictures of Native Americans and Wendy Star the artist explores the convergence of Native American ideologies as well as colonialist composition both hysterically and in contemporary society.
Wendy Star was familiarized herself with a vast the history of the Native individuals and wanted to tell their story through the use of photography. Stars idea was to alert viewers of the normality of Native Americans rather than compare them to an unknown breed.
I took notice to the genius labeling that Wendy Star displays upon the clothing of the Natives, due to the relevance of each item. There was also information of which pertained to the lives of each Native with the intention of disclosing factual information. The portrait of “Perits-Har-Sts
(Old Crow) and "With His Wife” is a perfect example of two individuals who lived
together on the land, and took care of their own.

The “Wayward North
Project”/ Skywriters
& Constellations exhibition featured twelve lithographic and somewhat
mythical prints in a photo abstract composition. The narrative behind this
piece is the Olujimi’s mythic narrative. The Olujimi mythic narrative is a
story of how space and time created a variety of creatures and events.

The "HUD Houses”
showcase was very interesting in my opinion due to the artist usage of
contrast, and natural lighting relating to homes of which were highly
historical in a sense. The title “My Home Is Where My Tipi Sits” immediately
gives off the accurate representation that Indians lived in these relevant
homes.

Each photograph
taken disrupts the unjust stereotype pertaining to Native Americans.
Stereotypes include living in tents, the killing and capturing of white people,
and terrifying and capturing white women. Rather than displaying Indians as a
threat, Wendy Star displayed Indians as home owners, and most importantly
humane citizens of the United States.
Both Wendy Star,
and Kambui Olujimi not only share creative aspects of which pertain to imagery,
and substance, but both of these modern artists have created pieces that
surround real life events within communities, while drawing attention to the
circumstances that shifted the false perceptions individuals who placed their
beliefs within other forms of media.
In reference to
mythology these highly influential artist do not share the same references. Pertaining to the work within the museum I will be taking the role of Wendy Star by outlining and labeling the most important things that I feel each viewer should pay close attention to. My piece is will have unfortunate events only.
The works of Wendy
Star and Kambui Olujimi connect to the portrait assignment of which I am
working on because I plan to take photographs that not only tell a story, but
display real emotion upon my viewer’s weather sad or content. In addition, I
also will provide a substantial amount of information from a relatable yet adventurous
perspective.
I’m not particular
sure if I will be adding any mythical attributes to my piece considering the
fact that my piece is going to be numerous photographs that relate to unfortunate
every day violence against African Americans. To say that my piece has a wide
range of cultural heritage like Wendy Star’s would be accurate because I want
to display relevant post modern, and modern statistics.
