Art Restart Podcast: Brian Adams and Sarah Stacke
For over 150 years, photography has played a powerful role in shaping how Indigenous
peoples of the Americas are seen and too often misunderstood.
Brian Adams, an Iñupiaq photographer based in Anchorage, and Sarah Stacke, a Brooklyn-based photographer, writer and archival researcher, approach photography less as image-making than as long-term relationship-building and storytelling. In this interview, Adams and Stacke discuss the ethical and logistical choices behind their book “In Light and Shadow,” the politics of archives and representation, and what it means to be storytellers accountable to the people whose lives and histories they photograph.
