Art in Our Lives grew out of the conversations of a group of Native
women artists who spoke frankly about the roles, responsibilities,
and commitments in their lives while balancing this existence with
their art practice. Finding common ground, they started out as a
small group of six that eventually grew to eleven who ranged in age
from seventy to twenty-seven with backgrounds as diverse as their
ages. Together they recognized their experiences, acknowledging
that what they shared was not unique to them since other Native
women artists could speak to similar life realities. How often such
experiences were actually shared became the larger issue. The
topics these women thoughtfully discussed resulted in this book at
the initiation of the artists, some of whom also contributed
essays. The artists participated in three seminars at SAR in
2007-2008 culminating in a one-day exhibition with an artist panel
discussion at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe.
Diverse in media and content, their artworks are featured as plates
in this volume along with the artist statements that accompanied
the pieces in the exhibition. The chapters in this book reflect
some of the seminars' common threads such as home/place,
transgression/boundaries, art as healing/art as struggle, pain/joy,
art practice/work, and survival/colonization. Publication of this
book was made possible by the generous support of the Anne Ray
Charitable Trust and the National Museum of the American Indian,
Smithsonian Institution. The Anne Ray Charitable Trust also
supported the seminars on which this publication is based.
