Zig Jackson: The Journey of Rising Buffalo bridges the performative and observational practices of Zig Jackson, a photographer whose work is concerned with the everyday experience of Native American life and culture, with a focus on community, sovereignty, and respect for the land.

As the George Eastman Museum approaches and celebrates its 75th anniversary, we are featuring a group of exhibitions that highlight a wide range of holdings from the museum’s collection. With this selection of objects in the Collection Gallery, we continue our broad survey of works to draw parallels and connections between photography, history, and culture. The objects chosen for this exhibition will chart a course through this history, identifying notable movements and trends while giving context to a breadth of photographic practices, technologies, communities, and traditions.
