Indigenous Women and the Camera

3 credits

Indigenous women have had a long and problematic relationship with the camera. The colonial lens created a visual legacy of exoticism and objectification, however, women also sought the camera for their own purposes, seizing control of their own representation, and ‘speaking back’. This course will explore both of these legacies. ***Prerequisite: ARTH 100 or INAH 100.*** *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ARTH 325 or ARTH 390AK.*
