Navajo model showing Yazzgrl Art Designs: Skirt, 'be matriarch' Tee and Handbag |
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

The 'Be Matriarch' Handbag is a series of handmade bags made by me Venaya Yazzie. The concept of the bag is inspired by my female family members, my matriarchs of the Dine' (Navajo) Nation.
In a cultural society that lives as a matriarchal society, the concept of ' be matriarch' was conceived by me as I looked at the role that women play in my Indigenous culture.
Be Matriarch' is therefore the brain child of me.
