As part of The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies, Dyani White Hawk will be discussing her work and practice. 

Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis. Her practice, strongly rooted in painting and beadwork, extends into sculpture, installation, video, and performance, reflecting upon cross-cultural experiences through the amalgamation of influences from Lakota and Euro/American abstraction. A mid-career survey Dyani White Hawk: Love Language, co-organized by the Walker Art Center and Remai Modern, will open at Remai Modern on April 25, 2026. White Hawk is the spring quarter spotlight artist in residence in The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies.
