SAR Artists Live with Marlowe Katoney

SAR ARTISTS LIVE X UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA MUSEUM OF ART
First trained as a painter, Winslow-based artist Marlowe Katoney (Diné) was taught to weave by his maternal grandmother. Since then, Katoney has used a hybrid approach to his weaving practice, combining elements from painting, color theory, perspective, and composition with traditional Navajo iconography and designs.
On October 14, 2023 a new exhibition, "Pulse: Weavings and Paintings by Marlowe Katoney", opens at University of Arizona Museum of Art (UAMA). Diné weaver Marlowe Katoney, who is also SAR’s 2015 Rollin and Mary Ella King Native Artist Fellow, is known for his work that literally and figuratively weaves traditional imagery with contemporary pictorial practices.
In anticipation of this new exhibition, hosts from both SAR (Olivia Amaya Ortiz) and UAMA (Chelsea Farrar) will be speaking with artists and cultural experts on the topic of Diné textiles - from historical perspectives to contemporary approaches.
This program is partially funded by the City of Santa Fe Arts & Culture Department and the 1% Lodger’s Tax.
