Natani Notah (born 1992) is a visual artist and poet. Her work explores Native American identity in relation to Navajo womanhood by engaging with Indigenous feminism and futurism, as well as environmental justice and historical trauma.[1] Her written work has been published in As/US and Yellow Medicine Review.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Natani Notah was born in 1992 and raised in San Bernardino, CA. She is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation.[2] In 2014,[3] Notah graduated from Cornell University[4] with her B.F.A. from the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, with a minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from the College of Arts and Sciences.[1] Notah worked as a designer and communications assistant for Cornell's American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP).[5] She then went on to pursue her MFA at Stanford University.[1]
Career[edit]
Artwork[edit]
Natani Notah's work explores themes of decolonization, environmental justice, Indigenous feminism, and Indigenous futurism. Her sculptures, installations, and performances pursue contemporary Native American identity through the lens of Diné (Navajo) womanhood. Her piece Dust Masks (2017) consists of four beaded dust masks that respond to the events at Standing Rock through an Indigenous futurist perspective.[6]
Notah's piece #TSIIYÉEŁPOWERED (2017), included in the 2017 The Annual Murphy and Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards Exhibition, explores the cultural significance of hair to Navajo culture in the context of the Indian Residential Boarding School Era. The work reclaims native heritage after forced assimilation and interrogates the political implications of wearing culturally significant clothing in public.
