Visualizing K’é: New Works by Marwin Begaye will open June 7 in the Schultz Gallery.
Visualizing K’é presents fifteen drawings and prints by master printmaker and professor Marwin Begaye (Diné, b. 1970). Reconnecting with historic voice recordings from the Wheelwright Museum’s permanent collection, Begaye created a series of abstract works in 2024-2025, which visualize the Diné philosophy and practice of maintaining kinship (k’é). Begaye’s work draws on Diné aesthetics, reflecting on questions of identity, storytelling, and language to explore how ancestral knowledge can be encoded in different cultural forms over time.
The exhibition will include a dynamic program series in summer and fall 2025, including an artist talk, exhibition tour, and printmaking workshop by Begaye.
