Register now for this virtual conversation offered as part of "Dialogues on Art and Social Justice,” a series sponsored by the Boulder County Arts Alliance and CU Boulder’s Office for Outreach and Engagement that brings together Black, Indigenous and Latinx artists from campus and the community. 

In this conversation, Tanaya Winder and Natani Notah will discuss how their art practice engages social justice through heartwork and the lens of Diné womanhood. 

Winder is the director of CU Boulder Upward Bound, an author, singer, songwriter, poet, motivational speaker and educator who comes from an intertribal lineage of Southern Ute, Pyramid Lake Paiute, Diné and Duckwater Shoshone Nations where she is an enrolled citizen. She is also African American. Through her presentations, Winder blends storytelling, singing and spoken word to teach about different expressions of love, emphasizing the importance of “heartwork” or the life path one is meant to follow by using gifts and passions.

Notah is an interdisciplinary artist and educator, and an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation (Diné) and part Lakota and Cherokee. Her work has been exhibited at the Tucson Desert Art Museum, the Gas Gallery in Los Angeles, the Holland Project in Reno, the Mana Contemporary in Chicago and SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. Her current art practice explores contemporary Native American identity through the lens of Diné (Navajo) womanhood. Inspired by acts of decolonization, environmental justice, Indigenous feminism and futurism, Notah’s work dares to imagine a world where Native sensibilities are magnified.
