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.
