Weaving as MethodWeaving Ké explores the Diné (Navajo) concept of "Ké," which embodies community, family, and kinship. Ké reflects the generations of stories and emotions metaphorically woven into each object in this exhibition, emphasizing the deep connections to identity that this art represents. No matter the medium, these artists both express themselves and weave together narratives of self and community through their practice. Together, these objects invite us to reflect on the enduring significance of family and kinship within Indigenous cultures and emphasize art's vital role in connection and resilience.
