In September of 2016 the Navajo art exhibition 'on behalf of water' was displayed at the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO.
All the works included in this exhibition are Dine' (Navajo ) artists who created art 'on behalf' of the Animas River/ San Juan rivers and too, in direct reaction to the infamous Gold King Mine spill disaster.
Artists included in this exhibit are:
Chamisa Edd-Belin, Randy 'SABA' Sabaque, Shaun Beyale, Ruthie Edd, Julius 'Jules' Badoni, Fidel Frank, Duane 'Chili' Yazzie and curator of the exhibition, Venaya Yazzie.
This show was curated by Venaya Yazzie and was meant to be a traveling exhibition to not only show visually the affects of the Gold King Mine spill disaster by the Navajo people. Many of the participating artists were directly affected by the pollution to the river, while others had family members who are farmers on the reservation.
