Wendy Red Star’s body of work encompasses self-portraiture, archival imagery, large-scale installations, performance art, sculptures composed of found objects, and stunning mixed-media collages.
One little-known fact about Indigenous people is that we excel at “counting coup” on our oppressors through the nonviolent resistance of satire. Why exert the energy to slay one’s enemies when one can laugh at them instead? The Crow multimedia artist Wendy Red Star understands the art of “Indi’n humor” as well as anyone, as evidenced by her cunning deployment of bigoted tropes in her 2014 series “White Squaw.”“Twin Peaks—or Bust #9,” from the series “White Squaw,” 2014.
At the heart of Red Star’s artistic output is an inquisitive celebration of Crow culture. In 2014, another online research session led Red Star to a series of portraits of Crow chiefs taken in 1880, by Charles Milton Bell, on the occasion of their visit to Washington, D.C., to meet with the President.
Red Star credits a project called “Interference,” which she completed at Montana State University, as foundational to her artistic process. For it, she installed a number of tipis around the Bozeman campus, which sits on what was once Crow territory. After the first night, Red Star noticed that the poles had been knocked down, so she reinstalled them in a different location—only to have them knocked down again. Finally, she set up five tipis on the fifty-yard line of the football field.
