Native Art Voices of the 4Corners is created and hosted by local mixed media artist and
poet Venaya Yazzie. The program is sponsored by the Northwest New Mexico Arts Council.
Purpose:
The need to hear the voice of the artist is vital in the overall narrative of the Four Corners
southwest art community.
The public sees the art of Native/ Indigenous people, but they don’t
really get to hear the story of the artist, their inspirations, and their process of art. The sole
purpose of these artist interviews are meant for public consumption, and will be aired on the
radio station KSJE – San Juan College public radio. Please note there will be no profits made from
the interview, they are purely meant for community information.
Who:
This interview is meant to listen and dialogue with the Native/ Indigenous artists of New Mexico,
Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. I would love to interview with you and speak on issues of the artist
the art process and the healing or spiritual attributes of creating. I feel this is important part of
the art process in which the public needs to hear about. In our interview dialogue- I would like to
focus and ponder on the artists point of view.
When:
The available dates I have open to interview with you are in the month of April/May are on
Wednesdays at 10 AM. Available dates are April 21st and in May 4, 11, 18, 25th. The interview
itself is 30-minutes. I will be the interviewer and you will be the interviewee; we will be the only
two people in the studio during recording.
