Take Another Look: "Public Art Journeys - Stepping Up and Into Public Art"

Join us as Noel Begay (she/her/we), Public Art Project Coordinator, and local artist J P 제피 [s(he), (he)r* / he, him / they, them] talk about their journeys into public art and professional collaboration to do the necessary work to reach out to Tribal governments for permission to build and root upon Tribal lands.

Noel shares her internal work through generational trauma, trusting in her Diné culture to guide her work within the City as well as what it means to reverse dominant/colonial culture by centering Indigenous perspectives and beliefs. J P discusses their projects that seek to layer the voices and stories of Albuquerque's Asian community and explore respectful cross-cultural depictions of and belonging to land. Check out Take Another Look: "Public Art Journeys - Stepping Up and Into Public Art" to learn more about the work that Noel and the Public Art Program are doing as well as J P's current projects.
