Missoula Art Museum exhibits ‘Tailyr Irvine: Beyond Bison’

The Missoula Art Museum in Missoula, MT, presents “Tailyr Irvine: Beyond Bison,” a photography exhibit running from now until March 24.

Tailyr Irvine is a Salish and Kootenai journalist born and raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. Her work focuses on in-depth representations of the lives and complex issues within the diverse communities of Natives.

Irvine is a co-founder of Indigenous Photograph, a global database dedicated to support the media industry in hiring more Indigenous photographers to tell the stories of their communities. Tailyr also works with the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian and is a frequent contributor to the New York Times.

This collection pairs photographs of the Bison Range under tribal management with photographs of tribal members using land-based practices to demonstrate their territory’s significance to their history, traditions and culture — as well as their commitment to maintaining it.
