Ginsberg Family Artist in Residence *Dakota Mace*
<https://www.dakotamace.com/> will be on campus next week! Dakota will give
a keynote lecture on *Tuesday, 2/13 at 7pm* in the Weissberg auditorium.
Her exhibition, *Dinétah*, will be on view in the Wright Museum until March
23.

Dakota Mace (Diné) is an interdisciplinary artist who focuses on
translating the language of Diné history and beliefs. Mace received her MA
and MFA degrees in Photography and Textile Design at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison and her BFA in Photography from the Institute of American
Indian Arts. As a Diné (Navajo) artist, her work draws from the history of
her Diné heritage, exploring the themes of family lineage, community, and
identity. In addition, her work pushes the viewer's understanding of Diné
culture through alternative photography techniques, weaving, beadwork, and
papermaking.

She has also worked with numerous institutions and programs to develop
dialogue on the issues of cultural appropriation and the importance of
Indigenous design work. She is currently an MFA in Studio Arts Faculty at
the Institute of American Indian Arts, Visiting Grad Advisor at the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the photographer for the Helen Louise
Allen Textile Center and the Center of Design and Material Culture.

Her work as an artist and scholar has been exhibited nationally and
internationally at various conferences, collectives, museums, and
galleries. She is represented by Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York City.
