SUMMARY:Reception & Artist Talk: Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future
DESCRIPTION:What will remain of care\, labor\, and memory in one-hundred years? Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future envisions a speculative archive where acts of nurturing\, witnessing\, and transformation persist beyond a century. This exhibition builds upon my interdisciplinary practice in printmaking\, digital media\, and community-engaged art to examine how personal and collective histories are carried forward—through objects\, ritual\, and the evolving role of women as vessels of survival and connection. The works presented are a synthesis of print-based installation\, textile works\, and experimental digital media\, creating a bridge between past and future. In this imagined future\, what we make and leave behind—both tangible and intangible—holds the imprint of care. Through layered prints on fabric\, interactive digital pieces\, and a participatory community element\, this exhibition explores themes of sustenance\, resilience\, and remembrance as they shape a future landscape.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Native Genes
DESCRIPTION:Ryle Yazzie is a Dine artist\, a veteran\, and currently a graduate student at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Native Genes\, Summer 2025 catalogs a pop-up art installation of used jeans sourced from the Navajo Reservation and from local flea markets in Window Rock\, Shiprock\, Gallup and Yah-Ta-hey areas. As part of the work\, Yazzie took a series of self-portraits of himself wearing the jeans—sometimes too big and sometimes just right—and documents the stories of hardship and determination told through the fabrics wearing and natural patina. Putting the used jeans in conversation with himself and in the context of a high-art photo catalog\, the book asks the viewer to consider our obsession with authenticity\, along with the age-old question; what makes something the real deal\, or just a knockoff. This catalog and the installation was inspired by James Luna’s performance\, Take a picture with a Real Indian. \nNative Genes by Ryle Yazzie. Authentically American* before America. \nThe book launch is in conjunction with Yazzie’s MFA thesis at the Institute for American Indian Arts and will feature a gallery show exhibiting artworks derived from the book. Native Genes & limited edition Riso prints on display and for sale. $35.00 per book. \nFree tamales and refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Native Genes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the book launch and exhibition of Native Genes\, Summer 2025 by Ryle Yazzie. Yazzie is a Diné artist\, veteran\, and currently a graduate student at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Native Genes catalogs a pop-up art installation of used jeans sourced from the Navajo Reservation from local flea markets in Window Rock\, Shiprock\, Gallup and Yah-Ta-hey areas. As part of the work\, Yazzie took a series of self-portraits of himself wearing the jeans—sometimes too big and sometimes just right–and documents the stories of hardship and determination told through the fabrics’ wearing and natural patina. Putting the used jeans in conversation with himself and in the context of a high-art photo catalog\, the book asks the viewer to consider our obsession with authenticity\, along with the age-old question; what makes something the real deal\, or just a knockoff. \nNative Genes by Ryle Yazzie. Authentically American* before America. \nThe book launch is in conjunction with Yazzie’s MFA thesis at the Institute for American Indian Arts and will feature a gallery show exhibiting artworks derived from the book. Native Genes & Limited Edition Riso prints on display and for sale. \nFree tamales by Joe Romero and refreshments will be provided!
