High Desert Matriarch: SW indigenous Femme Artists



High Desert Matriarch artists:
Eileen, Amy, Venaya, Colleen, Jihan and Monica



New Mexican artist, Venaya Yazzie


On February 13-19, 2020 a group of regional Indigenous artists and their art 'confluenced' at the border town of Flagstaff, Arizona in the north region of the state.

Included in among the art was my own art.
It was a blessing to be among other women with the 'Creative Way' of being.  And, I was very happy to have worked with a co-curator of the exhibition, Amy S. Martin.  The exhibition was displayed at local coffee house hot spot, Firecreek Coffee Company.

The last day of the exhibited culminated with a film screening of Indigenous women filmmakers work.  I also was able to show my art film, "There is Water but No One Speaks." And after of which the artists did a panel discussion and talk.  The photo above includes the participating artists. Which included:

Jihan Gearon
Eileen Baca
Lyncia Begay
Monica Wapaha
Diedra Peaches
Aretha Shining Moon
Venaya Yazzie
