Contemporary Indigenous Art Now: Tony Abeyta, Thomas "Breeze" Marcus, and Melissa Cody - Epi. 349

This podcast is a little different because it"s actually an artist panel that I recorded at Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week, a show that I was a part of back in March 2025. It was such an important presentation that I thought it needed to be captured and preserved. It"s all about contemporary Indigenous art and where it stands today. The moderator of this panel is David Roche, Executive Director of the Heard Museum, and it features three incredible Native American artists. You have multimedia artist Tony Abeyta (Diné), weaver Melissa Cody (Diné), and finally,  Phoenix based muralist Thomas "Breeze" Marcus (O"odham/ Ponca). I have talked to Abeyta and Breeze on previous podcasts so you can listen to those episodes if you would like to go deeper into their backgrounds and I hope to have Melissa and David on someday as well.  So I hope you like it. I think it"s a really important group and something that I"m beyond happy we were able to record and now publish for everybody that loves Indigenous art.
