Book Description
This 40-page exhibition catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Hear Her: Works by Dyani White Hawk, which was on view at Swarthmore College from November 4 through December 15, 2021. Curated by Andrea Packard, the exhibition was the first Philadelphia-area solo exhibition of works by Dyani White Hawk (Si?รก??u Lakota), a Minneapolis-based visual artist, independent curator, and community advocate. Hear Her features a selection of mixed- media paintings,, a suite of large-scale screenprints, a 20-foot-long photographic installation; and a series of videos demonstrating the artist's prolific creativity and wide-ranging practice. Whether she is working with traditional materials or incorporating new technologies, White Hawk puts Lakota values at the center of her work and fosters awareness about the diversity and importance of Native cultures. In particular, she emphasizes the essential role Native women play as cultural stewards, community leaders, and artistic innovators.
