Love Language: Collaboration as Practice

Rooted in trust and shared practice, artists Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota), Talon Bazille Ducheneaux (Crow Creek Dakota/Cheyenne River Lakota), Leya Hale (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota/Diné), and Tom Jones (Ho-Chunk) come together for an in-depth conversation on collaboration and the role of Indigenous perspectives in contemporary art. Friends and artistic partners, they reflect on their individual expertise and collective practices, exploring how abstraction, experimentation, and shared cultural lineages shape their work and enrich the broader discourse of contemporary art.
