Map(ing): 10 Years of Indigenous Prints

Map(ing): 10 Years of Indigenous Printmaking

There are so many ways to tell a story. By bringing together printmakers and visual artists of different disciplines, we share and celebrate culture and identity. In this special gallery show curated by Associate Professor Mary Hood, the School of Art at ASU presents a retrospective of Map(ing), a series of printmaking collaborations between Native and Indigenous artists and graduate printmaking students, celebrating the personal and cultural histories of artists.

Between 2009 and 2017, Map(ing) brought together 25 Native and Indigenous artists with graduate students from ASU’s School of Art to produce special, limited-edition prints exploring the work’s content, meaning, symbolism and themes. The project also featured a public exhibition and moderated public forum that engaged participants and audience with contemporary Native artistic practices, and was sponsored in part by an ArtWorks grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Featured artists include Hannah Claus, Dana Claxton, John Feodorov, Nicholas Galanin, Jason Garcia, Thomas Greyeyes, Rowan Harrison, Ahkima Honyumptewa, Tom Jones, Craig Kelly, Randy Kemp, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Brenda Mallory, Dallin Maybee, Wanesia Misquadace, Warren Montoya, Eliza Naranjo Morse, Marilou Schultz, Sarah Sense, Yolanda Hart Stevens, C. Maxx Stevens, Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie and Steven Yazzie.
