Indigenous poster design exhibition at Poster House
Overview
Poster House in New York City is hosting “Designed to Be Red: Native American & Indigenous Poster Works,” an exhibition curated by Brian Johnson of the Monacan Indian Nation. The showcase, which runs through February 2027, features works from over 60 tribes and nations spanning more than a century of visual history.
The exhibition is organized into thematic sections including “Creative Sovereignty,” “Resistance and Protest,” “Extractive Marketing,” “Indigenous Joy,” and “It’s Complicated.” The collection includes protest art related to the occupation of Alcatraz and the Dakota Access Pipeline, as well as works addressing the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Featured artists include Kent Monkman, Jeffrey Gibson, and the Onaman Collective. The exhibition aims to challenge colonialist narratives and counter stereotypical portrayals of Indigenous peoples by highlighting the continuous influence of Indigenous perspectives in design.
