“It’s a really great learning experience to actually visualize these prayers, to put prayer into art and into a literal map. Culturally, it allows us to reconnect to our past.” #zuni artists create maps based on memories, ceremonies, songs, and a deep relationship to land. They counter western notions of place and geography and challenge the arbitrary borders imposed on their world.
