| .on behalf of water. art exhibition photos by Venaya Yazzie 2016 |
On Sunday, April 10, 2016 the community of Durango, Colorado gathered to be show support for Navajo artists who presented their art at Rotary Park.
Ever since the river spill contamination happened in August 2015, I as an artist knew I had to be vigilant and perpetuate 'healing.' I had the idea to bring Navajo artists who have been affected directly and (indirectly)via extended family by the Gold King Mind spill. As a desert artist I feel I am very aware of my natural surroundings. I have also had great reverence for the water ways of this area of the high desert, and so the Animas and San Juan rivers have always been a special part of my history and heart.
Bringing these eight Navajo artists together was a step in bringing about healing from this terrible event that happened to 'Our' river. So, here are some photographs captured at the event.
Bless,
Venaya
