Shelley Niro, The Shirt, 2003 Virtual Museum of Canada
Home | Back to Artist List | Feedback
In this series of photographs, the artist plays off the typical '...and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' souvenir on offer in many tourist boutiques. By turning aboriginal peoples into souvenirs, the artist questions both stereotypes and souvenirs. In this image, an Aboriginal woman, arms folded, is wearing a white t-shirt stating 'The Shirt.' She wears a pair of sunglasses and a US flag bandana on her head. In the background is a view of the landscape.
