The exhibition title, <em>Baae\u00e9titchish (One Who Is Talented)<\/em>, is a reference to Red Star\u2019s family history and the name that was given to her after she visited her home in Montana during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Her art is a collaboration of multiple different sensory components, which include photography, video and performance. Red Star wants viewers of her art to be fully immersed in her pieces and have an empathetic connection through her art.<\/p>\n<p>Some of her pieces include line drawings over old portraits of indigenous people with comments off to the sides. The comments further explain what is within the photo, such as what the person is wearing and who they are.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1015 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_01-345x500.jpg\" alt=\"a portrait of an indigenous man with Red Star's line drawings\" width=\"255\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other pieces of her work include self-portraits in a surreal, colorful, but natural setting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1016 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_02-500x441.jpg\" alt=\"Red Star self portrait set in a winter theme and indigenous imagery\" width=\"431\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_02-500x441.jpg 500w, https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_02-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_02-1140x1005.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/the-peel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2019\/11\/WendyRedStar_Exhibition_02.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exhibit runs from Nov. 4 to Dec. 12 with a gallery talk by Red Star at 6 p.m on Thursday, Nov. 14.
