The show features all female, indigenous artists. Some of the invited artists are leaders in the field (Natani Notah, Roxanne Swentzell and Melissa Melero-Moose), while others are Douglas’ peers, up-and-coming artists like recent UNLV MFA graduate Noelle Garcia." From unlvfinearts: "The Dept. of Art and the Donna Beam Gallery in collaboration with the College of Fine Arts present AH’-WAH-NEE (Paiute for ‘balance’) a momentous exhibition and symposium celebrating the beauty of Indigeneity through the art of local and regional Native American women artists holding space on the campus of UNLV, the traditional homelands of the Nuwuvi, Southern Paiute People. AH’-WAH-NEE is curated by Fawn Douglas, Las Vegas Artivist and graduate student in the department of art. Fawn is also a member of the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, and co-founder of the Nuwu Art + Activism Studios in Las Vegas... AH’-WAH-NEE positions balance as its overarching theme. Indigenous women reflect balance in their roles as mothers, daughters, sisters, elders, partners, community leaders, organizers, water protectors, activists, artists, curators, educators, scholars, storytellers, survivors, and decolonizers. The artists in the exhibition reflect AH’-WAH-NEE as proof of a thriving culture through their works, words and lives. The artists are: Loretta Burden, Noelle Garcia, Jean LaMarr, Melissa Melero-Moose, Natani Notah, Cara Romero, Rose B. Simpson, Roxanne Swentzell, and Shelby Westika."
