I Refuse to be Invisible presents three major bodies of photographic work by artist Jeff Thomas: The Bear Portraits, Indians on Tour and Strong Hearts: Powwow Portraits. Developed over the course of four decades, these photographic suites explore and recontextualize the complex dialogue between historical and contemporary representations of Indigenous identity in photography, while simultaneously investigating the absence of images produced by Indigenous people.
