Driving and Painting with the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts
|
Four days in February, MoCNA's
Art for New Understanding
exhibition artist
Steven Yazzie
(Navajo/Laguna Pueblo) alongside IAIA art students and local community Artspace,
Axle Contemporary,
participated in a workshop in which a recumbent bicycle was modified for his new
Driving and Painting
project.
Driving and Painting
is a further development of his
Driving and Drawing
art performance-an experiment in which Yazzie would, essentially,
drive while drawing
. With the new project MoCNA looks to engage and connect both students and the Santa Fe art community with the exhibition and Yazzie's art practice. Yazzie's customized recumbent will be installed in the exhibition during its run at MoCNA.

Dr. E. Wade Davis
, noted ethnobotanist, author, and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America, and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with plants, recently gave a talk at IAIA. The presentation, sponsored by
Darlene Anderson
, focused on peyote and other psychoactive plants, such as curare and ayahuasca which he referenced as "Plants as a conduit to culture." After an introduction by Indigenous Liberal Studies Professor
Dr. Thomas Antonio
and ILS student
Nika Feldman
, Davis focused on the survival of Indigenous peoples and noted that "The loss of language is the loss of culture." He closed by observing that a "Cultural myopia exists against people who don't speak the same language," and suggested that everyone should work to "Make the world safe for human existence because we are all part of the same family." After the talk, IAIA Ambassador
Bryson Meyers
(Chippewa-Cree/Dakota/Lakota) performed an honor song.
