“Providing further opportunity to unpack the broader history of abstraction, Dyani White Hawk: Speaking to Relatives, will present a ten-year survey of painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation by the Minneapolis based artist. This major solo exhibition of White Hawk’s unique merging of the abstract visual languages of easel painting and Lakota art forms, will also be on view from February 16 to May 22, 2022.
“We are honored to showcase White Hawk’s unique and innovative approach to abstraction and the incorporation of Native histories. Her work offers an opportunity for visitors to think critically and deepen their understanding of artistic history of the United States, drawing significant attention to Native visual history, an integral and underrepresented focus in American abstraction,” said Miranda Lash, Ellen Bruss Senior Curator.”
