About
Why this artist matters now
Dana Claxton is a Native American artist whose practice interrogates representation and indigenous identity through photography, video, and installation. Working since the late 1980s, Claxton addresses the politics of image-making and archival power within contexts of colonialism and cultural sovereignty. Her work operates across documentary and conceptual registers, centering Native American voices and visual sovereignty as central to decolonial practice.
