Wendy Red Star: American Progress on view at the Anderson Collection at Stanford University is a solo exhibition of works by the artist Wendy Red Star, who was raised on the Apsáalooke (Crow) reservation in Montana. With historical research, Stanford student collaborations, large-scale installations, and images of sovereignty, Red Star asks viewers to grapple with the layered complexity of American history.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Wendy Red Star: American Progress is on view until August 28th at the Anderson Collection. The solo exhibition brings together a series of large-scale installations informed by historical research, student collaborations, and images of American history. The Apsáalooke artist offers a contemporary perspective at ongoing struggles surrounding colonialism, racism, and indigeneity amidst the past that is present in the violent displacement of native people.
