The first changing exhibition featured at the Heard Museum West location is Traveling, which will feature sculpture and prints by Diné multi-media artist Melanie Yazzie. The prints reflect Yazzie’s travels and work in four continents and the sculptural pieces are based on her experiences growing up on the Navajo reservation. Yazzie has a bachelor of arts in studio art from the University of Arizona and a master in fine arts from University of Colorado, Boulder. Through her art, she connects to many indigenous people. “I was brought up in the traditional Navajo way. Respect of self and others has always been a part of my people. I am proud to be Diné/Navajo and to have the opportunity to create art about my experiences. I hold only my story and by no means speak for all Native people,” says Yazzie. According to Heard Museum West Associate Curator Janet Cantley, “Yazzie’s work speaks about her lifelong relationship to animals, travels and the experiences she holds with other indigenous people.”
