Episode 206 | Melanie Yazzie

This week Miranda speaks with Melanie Yazzie, the head of printmaking at the University of Colorado, Boulder. They talk about growing up in the Navajo Nation and how Melanie learned about studio practice from watching her grandmother prepare for weaving, how she started working and traveling on her own dime when she wasn’t getting the residencies she wanted, the incredible places around the world she’s now traveled, and how showing up authentically with the people in your life can lead to the most wonderful opportunities.
