Author: Brian JohnsonNative American and Indigenous peoples have been making decisions about form, function, communication and meaning for millennia – yet the canon has looked righ t through them. Through examples spanning nearly two centuries and representing over 80 tribes and nations, 'Designed to Be Red' reveals and celebrates design histories that have always existed alongside, despite and in resistance to dominant colonial narratives, illustrating the full spectrum of Native life.Native graphic art has a rich history that shows that its practitioners are innovators who have created dynamic, subversive and optimistic work. Modern graphic expressions such as posters, digital fonts and even stencilled cars intertwine with traditional Indigenous pottery, weavings and paintings. ISBN 9781636812113.
