Art in the Park Show and Concert

Talking Tintypes: Examining the Portrayal of Native Americans at the Gallery Bergen
400 Paramus Road, Paramus, NJ 07652
Talking Tintypes is a groundbreaking new exhibit on display this fall at Bergen Community College's Gallery Bergen. Created by Diné artist Will Wilson, the collection of photographs shines a light on the impact of uranium mining on members of the Navajo Nation and how affected Indigenous communities have promoted healing through spiritualism. Wilson's tintype photo portraits feature QR codes that can be scanned to unlock dances and monologues recorded by the person featured in the image, harnessing the power of technology to create moving personal and cultural narratives. The exhibit lasts from September 26 to December 20 and is free to view.
