Echoing and expanding the aims of the first volume, Visualities:
Perspectives on Contemporary American Indian Film and Art, this
second volume contains illuminating global Indigenous visualities
concerning First Nations, Aboriginal Australian, Maori, and Sami
peoples. This insightful collection of essays explores how identity
is created and communicated through Indigenous film-, video-, and
art-making; what role these practices play in contemporary cultural
revitalization; and how indigenous creators revisit media pasts and
resignify dominant discourses through their work. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, Visualities Two draws on American
Indian studies, film studies, art history, cultural studies, visual
culture studies, women's studies, and postcolonial studies. Among
the artists and media makers examined are Tasha Hubbard, Rachel
Perkins, and Ehren "Bear Witness" Thomas, as well as contemporary
Inuit artists and Indigenous agents of cultural production working
to reimagine digital and social platforms. Films analyzed include
The Exiles, Winter in the Blood, The Spirit of Annie Mae, Radiance,
One Night the Moon, Bran Nue Dae, Ngati, Shimasani, and Sami Blood.
