An Indigenous Futurist reimagining of landscape, addressing imperialism, ownership, and place.
This beautifully illustrated volume is the first book to explore the work of contemporary Indigenous North American artist Andrea Carlson, accompanying the artist’s major solo exhibition at the Denver Art Museum (October 5, 2025–January 18, 2026).
Using oral and archival research, as well as art historical and philosophical theory, Carlson (Grand Portage Ojibwe descent) creates multipanel landscapes on the themes of museum collection practices, consumption, possession, and repatriation. Her work addresses the colonial construction of landscape genre painting and imperial concepts of land ownership and connection to place.
Through the lens of Indigenous Futurism, an artistic movement emphasizing the successful, sovereign presence of Indigenous people into the future, the works question human-centered biases and relationships to dominance and assimilation.
