Cara Romero’s exhibition, “Panûpünüwügai (Living Light),” at Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum of Art showcases the powerful representation of Indigenous women, reclaiming their narratives and cultural identities. The series of photographs, including “Amedée,” featuring Kānaka Maoli women like Amedée Niamh Kauakohemālamalama Conley-Kapoi, challenges stereotypes and commercialized images of Hawaiian culture. Through Romero’s lens, these women exude self-determination, strength, and cultural pride, reshaping the narrative of Native Hawaiian identity.

The exhibition delves into Romero’s artistic practice, highlighting her attention to detail and sensitivity towards her subjects. Spanning 63 works created between 2013 and 2025, Romero’s photographs capture the essence of Native identities, histories, and imaginations. Her imagery often features women and children, emphasizing their importance within Native communities. The exhibition transforms into an immersive experience, inviting viewers to engage with the stories and perspectives of Indigenous peoples.

Romero’s work also confronts the exploitative history of photography, particularly in its objectification of Native people. Pieces like “Cali Gold” and “Don’t Tell” challenge historical trauma and colonial oppression, offering a bold critique of the predominantly White gaze that has shaped these narratives. By centering Native perspectives and reclaiming visual sovereignty, Romero asserts a powerful photographic presence that reflects Indigenous agency and critique.

The exhibition pays homage to the legacy of Chemehuevi basket weavers, honoring the creativity and resilience of Indigenous women who came before Romero. As the show moves to the Phoenix Art Museum, it presents an opportunity for audiences to engage with Romero’s work in a city with a significant Indigenous population. In a political climate where history is being whitewashed, Romero’s photographs provide a transformative and affirming experience, underscoring the continuity of Indigenous culture and the importance of artistic reclamation.

“Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light)” will continue at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College until August 9, curated by Jami C. Powell. The exhibition invites viewers to explore and celebrate the resilience, strength, and cultural richness of Indigenous communities through Romero’s powerful imagery.
