InSight - Don Bailey: America Replated

Show Details

Don Bailey is a Native American artist, born in 1954 and raised on the Hoopa Valley Reservation in Northern California. His Salem Convention Center exhibit, “America Replated,” is a series of eight paintings, each beginning with an archival late 19th century / early 20th century black and white photograph of Native Americans taken by non-Native photographers, and presented to the public as “documents of a vanishing race.” He tells InSight host Wendy Brokaw these were often staged portraits. For this exhibit Don wrote "I aim to give the portraits of our ancestors a timelessness and, in the spirit of whil-xolik (story-telling), invite viewers of my work to consider the lives of the people who have never vanished."
