Melanie Yazzie

I Came from this Reservation

As a printmaker, painter, and sculptor, Melanie Yazzie’s work draws upon her rich Diné (Navajo) cultural heritage. Her work follows the Diné dictum “walk in beauty” literally, creating beauty and harmony. As an artist, she works to serve as an agent of change by encouraging others to learn about social, cultural, and political phenomena shaping the contemporary lives of Native peoples in the United States and beyond. Her work incorporates both personal experiences as well as the events and symbols from Dine culture. Her work is informed and shaped by personal experiences.

Ceremony: Julian Taylor Raiford ’21

An old man wearing a hat looking into a handheld mirror Julian Raiford’s Senior Thesis exhibit opens on May 6th and runs through Commencement at the Eli Marsh Gallery in Fayerweather. Comprised of a series of family photos, Raiford intimately examines the “intergenerational cycles of struggle, triumph, and joy that exist within families and create patterns of softness and violence.”
