Book Launch | Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light)

Join Radius Books and Cara Romero Gallery in celebrating the release of Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) with a special book signing at the artist’s gallery in Santa Fe.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist and publisher, browse the publication, and have their books signed. Light refreshments will be served and books will be available for purchase during the signing.

Published by Radius Books in conjunction with the artist’s first solo museum exhibition of the same name, Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) highlights the breadth of Romero’s practice, bringing together a dynamic selection of images from across her diverse bodies of work.

The book explores the ways in which her images simultaneously acknowledge the injustices of colonialism while centering the humanity and vitality of her Indigenous collaborators, inviting audiences to engage in transformative dialogues. Romero’s photography is accompanied by text contributions from Karen Kramer; Suzan Shown Harjo; Joy Harjo; Jordan Poorman Cocker; Felicia Garcia; Kate Nelson; Jami Powel; and Romero herself. Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) is co-published with The Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College.
