Nomad Bahané: Photographs of the Trek by Venaya Yazzie explored the 21st-century migration narrative of a Navajo/Hopi woman’s nomadic story. As an artist, Yazzie traveled within the borders of numerous American Indian reservations in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Her images conveyed a visual narrative reflecting her perspective on the natural environment, Indigenous communities, and their enduring cultural adornment practices.
The exhibition, presented at the Delaney Southwest Research Library, was the inaugural installation in an annual series featuring regional artists whose work reflected the landscape, people, and heritage of the Southwest.
