Da-Ka-Xeen
Da-Ka-Xeen-Mehner
Da-Ka-Xeen-Mehner (Tlingit) is a multimedia artist that roots his work in the Tlingit artistic tradition. His work stems from an examination of a multicultural heritage and social expectations and definitions. In particular his work focuses on the constructs of Native American identity, and an attempt to define “self” outside these constructs. Mehner has received a number of awards including a 2015 United States Artist Fellowship, a 2015 Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship, and 2014 Native Arts and Culture Foundation Artist Fellowship. Mehner is currently the Director of the Native Art Center and Chair of the Department of Art at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Marie Watt
Marie Watt
Marie Watt (Seneca Nation) is a contemporary installation and fiber artist. Her work draws from history, biography, Iroquois proto-feminism, and Indigenous principles, and addresses the interaction of the arc of history with the intimacy of memory. Blankets, one of her primary materials, are everyday objects that can carry extraordinary histories of use. Selected collections include the National Gallery of Canada, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and Renwick Gallery of American Art, The Albright-Knox Gallery, The Tacoma Art Museum, The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Facebook, The Seattle Art Museum; and The United States Library of Congress.
