Biography

Strongly influenced by her upbringing as a bi-racial woman growing up in a predominantly white area in rural South Dakota, Charlie Buhler uses her work to make sense of the dichotomy between how she experienced the world and how the world experienced her through the lenses of race and gender. Her thematic explorations of identity and representation become strikingly clear in her narrative films as well as her documentary and photography work.
