Artist Talk: Dyani White Hawk, for the Exhibition “Hear Her”
Join us for an artist talk featuring artist Dyani White Hawk for her exhibition “Hear Her.” White Hawk’s talk can either be watched in-person in the Halsey Institute galleries or at halsey.cofc.edu/live
Dyani White Hawk’s work illuminates society’s consistent ignorance of Native people. With her video, photography, and works in other media, she aims to use the language of visual art to bring light to the deep chasm between our understanding of history and the truth. Her work weaves together forms from the canon of Western art along with the visual languages and traditions of Native people. In doing so, her work spotlights Native women, whose strength and fortitude over centuries have helped their peoples’ languages and cultures to survive.
