Celebrating the 2025 retrospective of renowned Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache artist Bob Haozous, this exhibition brings together sculptures, monoprints, and wearable sculpture that represent Haozous’s decades-long philosophical and artistic engagement with the environment. For Haozous, the recurring motif of the female nude serves as a powerful dual symbol: a contemporary iteration of Native femininity and a potent representation of the human desecration of Mother Earth.
