About Dog Head Stew – The Second Course (DHS2):
DHS2 Â was organized by print makers Elizabeth Klimek and Melanie Yazzie who invited twenty four national and international visual artists to make hand pulled prints with personal and political expression honoring or criticizing past and present representations of Native American culture. The artists work with traditional and contemporary print media and are from a variety of cultural backgrounds. The portfolio celebrates Native American traditions and cultural persistence, which over time and situation have been redefined, honored, manipulated, categorized and stereotyped, but not vanquished.
