Description
A dive into the political, cultural, and aesthetic significance of Indigenous miniatures.
A hallmark of Indigenous art in the Pacific Northwest, miniature figurines depicting canoes, houses, and people have often puzzled scholars of material culture. Drawing on firsthand research and conversations with contemporary artists, So Much More Than Art clarifies the aesthetic and political meanings of this misunderstood practice. Jack Davy reveals how miniatures function as objects of political satire, cultural resilience, and even objects of political and cultural negotiation. This nuanced study highlights the significance of miniaturization to the history of Indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest.
