Dyani White Hawk: Performing Artist in New York

About Dyani White Hawk

Dyani White Hawk is a contemporary artist and curator based in Minnesota, with Sicangu Lakota, German, and Welsh roots that inform her practice. She previously worked as a curator with the Minneapolis gallery All My Relations, a role that sharpened her attention to how Native artists are framed and circulated. In her studio work, modern abstraction meets Lakota visual languages, with materials and patterning that carry cultural memory into the present. Her exhibitions at New York City venues such as the Whitney bring that dialogue into a public, institutional context, favoring structure over spectacle.
