Logan Lecture: Cara Romero
Cara Romero (Chemehuevi) stages theatrical compositions infused with vibrant color and dramatic lighting to illuminate Indigenous worldviews and aspects of the supernatural in everyday life. As a visual storyteller, Romero creates sometimes playful and sometimes serious images that explore collective Indigenous histories and identity.
Romero, whose work is in the permanent collection of the DAM as well as in the special exhibition Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography, will discuss her over two decade-long career as a photographer.
The Logan Lecture series is sponsored by Vicki and Kent Logan.
