The Map(ing) project, established in 2009, is a biennial event
that investigates the personal and cultural histories of Native American and
Indigenous artists. Each year five artists are invited to work collaboratively
with graduate students from ASU’s School of Art (SOA) Printmaking program,
nationally ranked fifth in the country. Over a ten-day period collaborative
teams create an editioned print exploring the works’ meaning, content, and
symbolism. The project also features a public exhibition and moderated public
forum that engages participants and audience with contemporary Native artistic
practices. Together we generate new
forms of knowledge by using printmaking and visual story telling for the
sharing of culture, place, language, and identity.
Map(ing) 2017 is proudly sponsored in part by an ArtWorks grant
from the National Endowment for the Arts.
