These stylized portraits of non-indigenous people impaled by arrows focuses on the most dramatic emotions and complex moments of silence and thought for the subject around these issues. With racial divisions and pressures reaching a nationwide fever pitch, it is more important than ever, according to Dennis, to offer accurate and compelling representation of indigenous people."“I like making use of the cinema’s tools, the same tools that movie directors have always turned against us (curiously familiar representations, clothing that makes a statement, pleasing lighting), to create conversations about uncomfortable aspects of post-colonialism.” @jeremynative@Ctr4CHR @donnagarcia23 #equaldignity @equaldignityforart
