Gabriel Duncan

Formerly known as CtrlAltWhat510, on Instagram; repping #HIVisNOTtheEnd. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Descendant of a federally recognized California Paiute Tribe. Adopted from birth, and raised in Alameda, California. Published in a number of periodicals, credited for a couple of photos; had a small collection hosted at the Marin Museum of the American Indian. Did some stuff with the Seventh Native American Generation Magazine; the Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits.

Took a break for about a decade; but I got a grant to make art for the National Queer Arts Festival 2020. Then COVID-19 happened. So my show got cancelled, and I decided to finish my research project all the way, and find all four Alameda Shellmounds; as well as chase down the Shellmounds of the San Francisco Bay, using a map made from N.C. Nelson’s shellmound map, which I conformed to modern day locations, and plotted near 350 locations by myself.

So now I’m combing my love of photography, travel, writing, and curating into the Alameda Native History Project. Which is basically a division of Alameda Native Art .com; which is my website.
