Abstract

Christopher Cardozo lives in Minneapolis. His own photographs of Native people have been widely exhibited and are found in many collections including the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Christopher has spent 40 years of his career collecting, exhibiting, and publishing Edward Curtis’ work. During that time his exhibitions and books have reached millions of people around the world with a message of beauty, heart, and spirituality; and inspired others to reflect upon the possibilities for greater diversity, understanding, and environmental sustainability.
