MARTINE GUTIERREZ’S INDIGENOUS WOMAN (2018)
Indigenous Woman, a singular magazine by multimedia art and pop star Martine Gutierrez, is my new prized possession. This high-gloss publication is the love child of Vogue and the newly undead Interview, and was designed, shot, styled, and edited, from cover to cover, by the artist. In the ads, articles, portfolios, and letter from the editor, Gutierrez does more than challenge the ways in which the mainstream misrepresents and colonizes the brown femme body—she charts a whole new way forward. Gutierrez is also the only model featured throughout the entire mag, aside from a handful of carefully cast mannequins.
