Black White Blue Yellow (“BWBY”)

Opens Feb. 3, 2017; on display through March 12, 2017 – Jacobson Gallery

Black White Blue Yellow is an immersive four-channel video and sound installation by artist Steven Yazzie (Navajo/Laguna/European) exploring four sacred mountains that border the Diné/Navajo people: BLACK (North) Dib’e Nitsaa/Hesperus Mountain, WHITE (East): Peak/Sisnaajini /Blanca Peak, BLUE (South) Tsoodzil Mount Taylor/south, YELLOW (West) Dookʼoʼoosłíí/San Francisco Peaks. BWBY is a journey and departure to sacred land and space, the source of cultural continuities: Indigenous knowledge, mystery, discovery, fear, connection, and exploitation by contemporary societies. BWBY is a culmination of video and sound documentation that will bring the viewer into the complexities of these geographies in a temporal conceptual experience, designed to touch on the mountain’s symbolic nature residing deep within our human memory.
