In a project directed by Eileen Braziel, and funded by New Mexico Arts and iLSAF, Tony Abeyta created unique video works where he was able to play "the movement in music that always sounds when he paints."

Donald and Era Farnsworth’s Jacquard tapestries transform appropriated paintings from across histories and cultures, drawing viewers’ attention away from the human and toward the natural world. The artists take images from sources as varied as Tibetan mandalas and paintings of Christian themes, altering them through a kind of creative conservation—reimagining damaged parts of the canvas—or by removing figures. Their distinct historical sources are united in computerized Jacquard weavings.

Ron Garnanez practices his Dine' (Navajo) ancestry philosophy in art, and way of life as owner of ancient Navajo Churro sheep, and goats. Working with Eileen Braziel since 2017, Ron Garnanez Studio developed to create with apprentices who assist in weavings, furniture design, and sculptures.

Kent Monkman, a painter, filmmaker, and illustrator of Cree descent, appropriates and disrupts the visual language of Western art history in order to draw attention to the devastating affects of colonialism, particularly focusing on its impact on sexuality. By injecting Canada’s First Nations people into romanticized landscapes, or casting Modernist figures from Pablo Picasso into urban scenes, Monkman brings to question the cost of modernity while highlighting the resilience.
