Step into the visual realm of acclaimed contemporary fine art photographer Cara Romero as she explores the intricate tapestry of identity and heritage. Her groundbreaking work offers unique perspectives shaped by her experiences as a citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe and her upbringing between the stark contrasts of the Mojave Desert reservation and Houston’s urban landscape. As a modern storyteller, Romero uses contemporary photographic techniques to capture the vibrancy and modernity of Indigenous culture. Her theatrical compositions and dramatic use of color illuminate Native worldviews. She seamlessly blends fine art and editorial photography to depict cultural memory, collective history, and lived experiences from a female perspective. Explore the ways her work challenges stereotypes and represents the supernatural elements present in everyday Indigenous life.

Don’t miss this talk that offers a rare opportunity to understand how Romero’s art serves as a powerful medium for preserving and evolving Indigenous narratives in the contemporary world.
