Will Wilson is a Diné photographer, artist, and curator who creates art and images of indigenous people to confront issues of agency and identity. In his photography project, Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX) began in 2012, Wilson actively attempts to reconstruct the photographic narrative of indigenous Americans created by Edward S. Curtis in the early 20th century. The work of Curtis was meant to record the images of the disappearing race. The wide distribution of his photographs would come to cement beliefs of how Native Americans looked and acted. Utilizing traditional wet plate photography methods, Wilson creates new images of Indigenous people who are thriving, as a way to fully supplant the narrative of images created by Curtis. These are not merely updates to a canon, but a radical repositioning of indigenous people through portraits made by an indigenous artist.
