Utilizing a variety of mediums and the color pink, Carmen Selam – a Queer Indigenous artist – uses  pop-culture references and specific colors to amplify themes of Indigeneity and Queerness in her artwork.
Currently, she is experimenting with risograph printmaking to create a zine titled “Resbians,” a combination of the words “lesbians” and “reservation.” Selam is Yakama and Comanche, and said she finds herself incorporating those two identities throughout her artwork. She calls herself “Yakamanche” – a combination of the two.
