ALL REZ: Kéyah, Hooghan, K'é, Iiná / Land, Home, Kinship, Life, an innovative traveling photography exhibition and museological project at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at The University of New Mexico, will conclude with a reception and panel discussion on Saturday, June 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. The exhibition features the work of Diné photographer and curator Rapheal Begay. The event is free and open to all.

Visitors are invited to join Begay (Diné), Lillia McEnaney, and Matthew Chase-Daniel for a discussion about ALL REZ: Kéyah, Hooghan, K’é, Iiná / Land, Home, Kinship, Life. The panel will be moderated by Toni Gentilli, Maxwell Museum curator of exhibits.

The Project Team will reflect on taking the exhibit across Diné Bikéyah (the Navajo Nation) in the Axle Contemporary truck this summer. Topics include creative place-making with Diné community members in Diné homelands and the significance of contemporary photography from an Indigenous perspective.

Seating for the 3 p.m. panel is limited to 40 guests. Registration via Eventbrite is encouraged but not required. First come, first serve.

ALL REZ is a multifaceted community storytelling project with ongoing installations at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology and in the Axle Contemporary mobile artspace.

The traveling portion of ALL REZ took Begay’s photographs to multiple locations across the Navajo Nation in Axle Contemporary. Stops included community gathering spaces in Crownpoint, Gallup, and Shiprock in New Mexico; Chinle and Window Rock in Arizona; and Monument Valley in Utah. The interior of the Axle gallery was transformed into a space for reflection and conversation with the artist.

ALL REZ is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional funding from the Alfonso Ortiz Center for Intercultural Studies at UNM.
