Indigenous Pop Art and Movie Posters

Since the dawn of cinema, Hollywood has misrepresented Native people. Anishinaabe artist Jay Soule aka CHIPPEWAR, of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in Ontario, Canada, answers back in pop art. He takes the movie posters people grew up with and recasts them with Indigenous characters, humour and history.

Museum London in London, Ontario showed this work in Seeing Red: Movie Posters Indigenized by CHIPPEWAR, from April 2024 to January 2025.

This collection brings the series together in one place. The 80's Cult Classics series includes The Red Road Warrior, The Rezsiders, Escape from Turtle Island, Terminative and Back To 1491. The Indigenous Movie Monsters series has Frankensioux, Bride Of Frankensioux, Chief Werewolf, Tribe Of Dracula and Phantom Of The Powwow. The Tarantino Series has Kill Buffalo Bill, Indigenous Basterds, Indian Fiction, Geronimo UnChained and Natural Born Warriors. Newer prints like The No Breakfast Club, Lady And The Rez Dog, Buffy The Colonizer Slayer and Skoden Club began as original acrylic-on-wood paintings.

Each series also comes as a sticker pack. All the art is designed by Jay Soule, and we ship worldwide, from Toronto.
