Museum of Arizona Artists (MOAZA) and the Arizona Capitol Museum present MANY LIVES ONE COMMUNITY.
March 31 - October 16, 2025 | Arizona Capitol Museum, Phoenix
Arizona photographers share their vision through personal stories and perspectives in this group exhibition. The images presented here represent artists from across the Grand Canyon State and at various stages of their careers. Some of them are professionals who have achieved high awards, including Guggenheim Fellowships and NEA grants, while others are still students and just starting to shape their careers. The exhibition features a wide range of photographic styles, from straight documentary to narrative storytelling, to montage images that depict Arizona’s history, to beautiful abstract renderings. The Southwest figures prominently in the history of photography, drawing photographers from across the country in the late 19th century to capture its grand landscapes and Indigenous peoples through the romanticized lens of Manifest Destiny. Today, depictions of our state expand the narrative beyond the documentary style of those early views and often show us in relation to each other and where we came from. While the styles and stories presented here by these photographic artists vary widely, they represent the many lives and perspectives that contribute profoundly to our Arizona community.
Colors hold symbolism and meanings already established by Western societies. However, for Native and Indigenous people, the symbolisms are diverse and hold different meanings. The color red carries great significance for Indigenous and Native communities. It is a sacred color used to describe our origin stories, sacred land, and blessings of fire for warmth, cooking, and protection. Reclaiming Red explores the colonial implications of the color red and demonstrates how Indigenous people use it for healing, peace, sacredness, unity, and Hózhó (a Diné Bizaad word for balance and harmony).
Participating artists: Tedra Begay (Diné), Jaida Grey Eagle (Oglala Lakota), Tailyr Irvine (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), Cara Romero (Chemehuevi), Eugene Tapahe (Diné), and Maya Tinhitiyas Attean, (Wabanaki, Penobscot Nation).
Curated by Erin Tapahe (Diné)
