Text clean. Like New to Fine. No ISBN. No ASIN. No OCLC. "Native designers are not often shown as authors of their own ideas or images, controlling neither how and when their stories are depicted, nor through what channels and mediums. Instead, Indigenous existence has been historically reduced to iconography that supports the American mythos that its numerous and distinct tribes are dead and in the past. Mythmakers and marketing teams have long used graphic design to tell stories about Native Americans, First Nations, Metis, Alaska Natives, and other Indigenous peoples rather than with them, creating reductive, inaccurate, and harmful representations of a living, vibrant, and varied group of people. Despite this, Native graphic art has a rich history that shows that its practitioners are not merely subjects of design but shapers of it, innovators who have created dynamic, subversive, and optimistic work despite centuries of cultural obliteration, land theft, and socio-economic marginalization.

Store description

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.…
