BMoCA curator Mardee Goff introduces Melanie Yazzie at show reception.

 Don't miss Boulder's Museum of Contemporary Art is featuring this two week exhibtion of contemporary Native American & Indigenous prints organized by Navajo artist and CNAIS Core faculty, Melanie Yazzie.

Yazzie invited eleven other Indigenous artists to respond to their idea of "home" through a print exchange. Together the works gathered in the exhibtion illumniate the diversity of personal definitions of "home" and demonstrate a Native relationship to home and homeland enmeshed in a history of defense, sacrifice, resiliency, and redefinition. The works are accompanied by an essay written by non-native Indigenous Studies Scholar, Kevin Slivka. Also featured were CNAIS faculty C. Maxx Stevens, along with:

Norman Akers, Neal Ambrose-Smith, Ivy Hali'imaile, Corwin Clairmont, Joe Feddersen, Alexander Swiftwater McCarty, Tony Ortega, Sue Pearson, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Glory Tachaenie-Campoy

The exhibition is part of the BMoCA's Present Box from Nov 8 - 20 at 1750 13th St. in Boulder.

It then travels to the Sojourner Truth Library at the State University of New York (SUNY) where it will be on display from Dec. 4 - Jan. 22.
