The photographic work of Kenji Kawano. |
Last week I visited the Navajo Nation Museum's newest exhibit. It features the work of Japanese photographer Kenji Kawano whose work exclusively captures the imagery of the Navajo Nation.
Created as an homage to my desert ancestors, I focus on the historical significance of Indigenous southwestern tribal adornment culture and the perpetuation of those adornment practices perpetuated into the 21st century. In honor of my Navajo & Hopi Pueblo People & my ancestral matriarchs, and male relatives who adorned themselves with elements of the earth. Be Matriarch. Hózhó Nashá- Beauty all Around. Venaya Yazzie
