Sadie Red Wing, Visiting Designer | College of Visual and Performing Arts

Sadie Red Wing is a Lakota graphic designer and advocate from the Spirit Lake Nation of Fort Totten, North Dakota. Red Wing earned a B.F.A. in new media arts and interactive design at the Institute of American Indian Arts. She received a master of graphic design from North Carolina State University. Her research on cultural revitalization through design tools and strategies created a new demand for tribal competence in graphic design research. Red Wing urges Native American graphic designers to express visual sovereignty in their design work, as well as encourages academia to include an indigenous perspective in design curriculum. Currently, Red Wing serves as a student success coach for American Indian College Fund (Denver), where she specializes in student retention and resource building for the Native American demographic in higher education spaces.

The talk with Sadie Red Wing will be held via Zoom.
