On ‘British Vogue’ cover, Gladstone spotlights local Indigenous artists

Blackfeet Actress Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio share the cover of “British Vogue” this month, and Gladstone’s outfits and accessories highlight work of local Indigenous artists.

In one photo, Gladstone wears a large Apsáalooke style breast plate with vintage brass beads and pink conch pearls. The plate was made by Crow Artist Elias Jade NotAfraid, whose work also appears in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In another photo, draped on a chair behind Gladstone is Blackfeet Artist John Pepion’s “Butterfly Dreams” blanket. The blanket, made of cotton, is inspired by butterfly images often painted on tipis or found in the beadwork of Blackfeet people.

“The new film, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ is going to be epic,” Pepion wrote on Facebook with a picture of Gladstone sitting on his blanket.

In other images, Gladstone dons pieces from other Indigenous artists, including Kiowa jeweler Keri Ataumbi, Jamie Okuma (La Jolla Band of Indians), Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo), Joe Big Mountain (Mohawk, Cree and Comanche), Jennifer Younger (Tlingit) and Louie Gong (Nooksack), among others.

Gladstone stars in Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” where she portrays Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman, whose family and people have become enriched by oil on their land in 1920s Oklahoma. The film is expected to open in theaters in mid-October.

Humanity in the Horror: Photographer Giles Duley

War photography is a genre that transcends mere visual documentation. It is a testament to the human spirit, a mirror to society, and a call for change. The photographs created are ones that must be shown to the public. We tend to hear sound bites from politicians talking about going to war and the devastation it will bring. We see headlines from media outlets mixed in with news stories of the day. Some important, others about something a celebrity is wearing at an event. But to view the destruction that world leaders bring upon civilization and environments is perhaps the only true version the viewing public outside of the horrors of war will get to witness.

Photographer, Giles Duley, was born in London in 1971, his journey into the world of photography started out with music photography. He was capturing images of famous rock stars for major publications, and then in 2004, he shifted his focus to documentary photography. With this new path, Duley traveled to conflict zones and began to tell stories for the viewing public. His career took a turn, when on assignment in Afghanistan, he himself became a casualty of war, resulting in the loss of both legs and an arm. This devastating incident might have ended many photographers’ careers, but for Duley, it only fueled his determination to continue his mission.

Duley’s work is distinguished by a focus on the human aspect of conflict. He doesn’t just capture scenes of warfare or the destruction it causes, however, he delves deeper, giving a voice to the often-forgotten victims, the displaced, and the wounded. His lens becomes a bridge between the world’s safe havens and the harrowing realities of war zones. While doing this, he connects with his subjects on a deeply personal level. He doesn’t photograph them from a distance. He becomes a part of their lives, sharing their stories and their pain. This emotional connection is evident in the powerful portraits he captures, where the subjects’ eyes often speak about their experiences and the trauma they’ve endured.

We live in a world where conflict and displacement continue to affect millions of lives worldwide. Giles Duley’s work reminds us that war photography is not just about the aesthetics of an image; it’s about bearing witness to the human condition during its most trying times and seeing humanity in the horror.
