A Place in Time with River Whittle

01/10/22 • 30 min

Join Photographers Without Borders as we discuss queer Indigenous perspective in photography on this episode of Storytelling for Change.
River is a two-spirit Caddo, Lenape, and white artist and youth-worker. Their work consists of collage, photography, videography, beading, and they are learning how to be in relationship with Caddo pottery.
River understands photography as a place in time together, a little room to help a friend, a relative, an elder, feel seen, beautiful or listened to. It's about moment-making and reflection, comfort and co-creation. When thinking about erasure of Native peoples on our own lands, combined with the persistent invisibility of queer Indigenous people even within our own communities, this work feels important considering community-health, language, and storytelling.
Ultimately, River just wants their art to make a path for the youth and the ancestors to be whatever they want to be, whatever they always wanted to be.
