Katie Dorame is an artist Native to Los Angeles, currently living and working in Oakland, CA. She received her MFA from the California College of the Arts and her BA from UCSC. She has had solo shows at the Galeria de la Raza in San Francisco, and the Handwerker Gallery at Ithaca College in New York. Her work often points out the absurdity of colonialism using Hollywood, textbooks, and personal history.

IS IT A REPTILIAN MISSION OR IS IT A REPTILIAN DISGUISED AS A MISSION? NATIVE AMERICANS, BEWARE!

Scaled Mission is a one-page PDF (8.5″ x 11″) that can be printed out in either color or black & white.

This new piece is part of Dorame’s Alien Apostles series, which re-imagines the spread of the California missions as an alien invasion. These works use Hollywood B-movies, anthropological field notes, and history books to take a second look at California’s attempted conquest.
