A new book that showcases an under-explored aspect to the history of photography is the first of its kind.
“In Light and Shadow: A Photographic History from Indigenous America” is a partnership between Anchorage-based Inupiaq photographer Brian Adams and Sarah Stacke, a New York-based photographer, writer and archival researcher.
Adams is an accomplished photographer known for documenting northern peoples and Alaska culture. Stacke’s work has examined relationships to the land and its histories and has looked at under-considered pasts to understand the present and future.
The book highlights 80 Indigenous photographers from the 1800s up to present day. Stacke says it shows that Indigenous photographers have a long and under-represented history with the medium.
We're joined by Adams and Stacke to discuss the book.
