Feathered Relations is at C.N. Gorman
C.N. Gorman Museum (virtual)
Feathered Relations explores sacred Indigenous beliefs around birds and their link to nature. Begaye's prints and paintings place a variety of birds in the foreground, depicting them naturally, but also existing on a higher plane. This exhibition is based on his show that was on display at the Gorman when the pandemic forced its closure. Begaye (Din矇) includes prints, wood blocks and multimedia works to create a conceptual homage to birds. For the artist, birds are about our relationships to nature, to one another, to culture.
