A:shiwi A:wan Ulohnanne, The Zuni World

In the past 500 years the Zuni peoples names of places and their meanings have been remapped and eliminated from mainstream use. This direct denial of Zuni history has led to the creation of 31 fine art paintings by Zuni artists which speak to the artists continuous search for the essence of Zuni and serve as learning tools for their community. These works tell us that map art can persuade people to look at the world as a cultural landscape rather than simply a physical entity.
