SITE Santa Fe is showing “Dakota Mace: DAHODIYINII—SACRED PLACES,” an investigation of an atrocity during which the United States expelled the Diné people from Dinétah, their ancestral homeland, and forced them to march as many as 400 miles to the Bosque Redondo in central-eastern New Mexico, where they were forced to remain in a concentration camp from 1864-68. The exhibition is organized into themes such as memory, land, and the stars; with each section of the show considering Diné cosmology. The exhibition, which is on view through May 19, was curated by Brandee Caoba.
Mace is also featured in “Smoke in Our Hair: Native Memory and Unsettled Time” at the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, NY. The exhibition examines how Native artists have explored memory and time, including how the past is continually remembered and reimagined. It was curated by Sháńdíín Brown and will remain on view through August 31, 2025. “Smoke in Our Hair” features previous MAN Podcast guests such as Saif Azzuz, Teresa Baker, and Andrea Carlson.
