Mákkin Mak Wárep at Djerassi Resident Artists Program 

Mákkin Mak Wárep is a dialogue, cooperation, and co-creation in which we share authorship. The project aims to foster a reconnection with the forces that bind us—to each other, to the land, and to the many stories it holds. 

The two tapestries which will be on view have been created with pigments from lichens harvested on Djerassi Program lands. They are the artist Kalie Granier’s response to the Chochenyo texts written by Monica V. Arellano and Gloria E. Arellano-Gómez, conversations had together, and their dance ceremony. These pieces depict a new generation of “American Indians” who remain deeply rooted in their traditions and connection to the land while living in the heart of contemporary American society.
