Visualizing Indigenous Florida is a collaborative project with the University of North Florida that brings together seven Muscogee, Seminole, and Miccosukee artists to reimagine representations of Indigenous Florida through contemporary Indigenous perspectives. Curated by Carly Treece in collaboration with Dr. Denise Bossy and Dr. Keith Ashley, the project centers Indigenous artists, knowledge, and perspectives in telling the histories of Florida and its Native peoples. Following its opening at the Amelia Island Museum of History, the project will travel to museums, universities, and cultural institutions across the United States.

Speaker Session 209-Visual Sovereignty as Antidote to Colonial Narratives: A New Public Artwork Series with Dr. Denise Bossy
This session unveils a new series of public-domain artworks created by Seminole, Miccosukee, and Muscogee artists to replace flawed 16th-century Théodore de Bry’s engravings with accurate Indigenous representations. By showcasing the collaborative process between artists and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs), presenters demonstrate how public-facing art can upend colonial narratives and promote visual sovereignty. Participants will be guided through the new collection and provided with full, copyright-free access to the pieces for future reproduction.
