Cara Romero: Following the Light

Written By David Schnitzer

Photographer Cara Romero is an enrolled citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, raised between contrasting settings: the rural Chemehuevi reservation in Mojave Desert, CA and the urban sprawl of Houston, TX. Her identity informs her photography, a blend of fine art and editorial, shaped by a visceral approach to representing Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultural memory, collective history, and lived experiences from a Native American female perspective.
