In Paper Traces, Ledger art, a graphic archive for indigenous history recording is used as a research matrix to question the narrative logic and devices of non-native artifacts in museums such as the Met and the Brooklyn Museum. By tracing back the information on their labels, such as the collector and date, I reorganize and re-position these artifacts from a local perspective, connecting them to the colonial footprints and the history of Indigenous resistance that has been intentionally hidden throughout history. This is a struggle between “your history” and “my memory.”
