wraps the walls of SAMA’s Cowden Gallery with a sprawling visual timeline of Crow Fair — an annual celebration of Crow culture modeled after a traditional county fair. Focusing on the daily parades that light up the late summer fair each morning, Red Star gathered images from historical archives and decades of family photos and painstakingly clipped them out to reconstruct a chronological narrative.
To highlight the continued importance of sweat lodges in modern times, Red Star created the 2019 pieceby building a geodesic dome and covering it in a stylish tapestry of blankets, rugs and sleeping bags. Museumgoers are invited to sit inside the room-temperature structure and watch— a 14 minute video Red Star created with fellow artist Amelia Winger-Bearskin.
“I started thinking about what this meant, who these commercial entities were … and wondering if they actually knew he who he was,” Red Star explained. “And with that sort of simple question, I started to ask myself, ‘Well wait a minute, what happened that day when he sat down to take that photo?’ And what I learned was that photo was from a delegation trip that happened in 1880. And not only was it Medicine Crow who went on that trip from Montana to Washington, D.C., to sit with the U.S.
From that realization and further research into the Crow chiefs in attendance, Red Star created the 2014 series. Using Bell’s black-and-white portraits as bases, Red Star outlined details — ermine trim, military-inspired jackets, brass hoop earrings, eagle feathers, hair extensions — and made annotations in red ink. As with her Crow Fair timeline, the marks Red Star made hold as much weight as the images themselves.
