Dakota Mace
Mace is a Diné (Navajo) artist and researcher whose work focuses on translating the language of Diné history and beliefs. Choosing material deliberately, Mace reinterprets the symbols of creation stories, cosmologies, and social structures. Her work draws from the history of her Diné heritage, exploring the themes of family lineage, community, and identity. In addition, her work pushes the viewer’s understanding of Diné culture through alternative photography techniques.
