Title A name given to the resource <em>Quanah Parker, Washington D.C., 1880s/Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, Providence R.I., 2000s</em> Description An account of the resource From the series "An Indian from India" In this series, Annu Palakunnathu Matthew explores ethnicity, immigration, and the colonial gaze. Each panel juxtaposes two images: a late-nineteenth photograph of Native Americans and a reenactment of that historical image with Matthew’s body taking the place of the original subject. The series was inspired by Matthew’s experience, as an immigrant living in the United States, of constantly being asked where she was “really from.” It explores the role of photography in fixing and perpetuating stereotypes. As the artist explains, “I’m talking about the imbalance of power between the subject and the photographer. That’s one reason that I turned the camera on myself. Since the portrait is of me, I am in control of how I am being represented. It was a way to hold hands with Native Americans and reverse that gaze.” Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2001-2003 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Courtesy Annu Palakunnathu Matthew and sepiaEYE.
