From LinkedCulture
In 1931, three years before her iconic Depression-era photographs, Dorothea Lange pointed her camera at a dancer at Taos Pueblo. The bare-chested figure stands mid-motion, a gourd rattle in one hand and small leafy branches in the other, the adobe structures of the Pueblo rising behind him in the bright sun. This gelatin silver print matters because it captures Indigenous ceremonial life at a moment when such gatherings had only recently emerged from decades of federal suppression, revealing the human dignity at the heart of Lange's vision from the very beginning.
