RECENT PRESS | Dyani White Hawk's recent solo exhibition "Love Language" is reviewed in Artforum by Kathryn Savage (@kdsreads ). The exhibition has traveled from the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, and is now on view at Remai Modern, Saskatoon, Canada through October 4, 2026. Commenting on the impact of White Hawk's "Carry" series, and the effect of shoes designed by Jamie Okuma (Luiseño/Shoshone-Bannock/Wailaki/Okinawa), Savage writes: "both artists blur the boundary between craft and fine art, function and couture—while implicitly drawing attention to works by Native artists and women of color historically relegated to anthropological or folk-art spaces within museums."

There’s something new on Level 3! The monumental sculpture Infinite We by Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota) is a sneak peek of her upcoming exhibition, Love Language, which opens in the Marquee Gallery on April 25. Infinite We is a three-dimensional representation of the kapémni symbol, embodying the Lakota worldview of balance and relatedness. Grounded to the floor, the work swirls upward and expands again, reminding us of connections between the realms of the earth, the spiritual, and the cosmos. Moving around this mosaic sculpture activates a visual rhythm of shapes shifting and multiplying across the surface. Join us for a first look at Love Language on April 24 at 6 PM, followed by an exhibition tour and community gathering with White Hawk on April 25 at 2 PM. Visitors will encounter Lakota forms and teachings that inform White Hawk’s practice, alongside works addressing urgent issues of settler colonialism and oppression. In the meantime, come see Infinite We on view on Level 3! Dyani White Hawk: Love Language is co-organized by Remai Modern, Saskatoon and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. The exhibition is curated by Tarah Hogue (Métis), Adjunct Curator of Indigenous Art, Remai Modern, and Siri Engberg, Senior Curator and Director of Visual Arts, Walker Art Center; with Brandon Eng, Curatorial Assistant, Visual Arts, Walker Art Center.

Here’s Dyani White Hawk’s 55-foot glass and stone mosaic being installed at PDX...piece by piece, color by color. Inspired by Indigenous beadwork and weaving traditions, it creates an abstract view of Mount Hood and honors the connection between land, sky, and community. You won’t be able to see it just yet, but it will be unveiled this Spring. Until then, here’s a little insider moment we’re happy to share.

There is no day more perfect than Valentines to share photos from my friend @dwhitehawk exhibition Love Language on view @walkerartcenter right now. This exhibition covers the last 15 years of Dyani’s work displaying nearly 100 pieces of her artwork. Works on paper, paintings, sculpture, video, installation- you name it, it’s there . It was profoundly uplifting to watch visitors take it all in and simply being in the energy of the galleries. It was also really cool turning corners to see paintings Dyani was developing when we were in school together- like bumping into good friends you haven’t seen in a while❤️🫶🏼❤️ Go see this show if you’re near Minneapolis! It’s the final weekend and the admission is free. It will do your heart good.✨ #dyaniwhitehawk #lovelanguage #walkerartcenter #onviewnow #mustsee
