Gourd People by Nadiya Littlewarrior

On Sunday, December 6 from 10 am-3pm, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area will host a day of hand crafted art, music, and family fun at the scenic Satwiwa Culture Center.

 

Regional artists will bring many items for display and sale.  Author and photographer Valena Broussard Dismukes will showcase her award winning book Red-Black Connection, as well as bring traditional and contemporary Indian artwork.  This is her first time participating in the Satwiwa Winter Solstice Show, and she looks forward to sharing her work with a new audience.

 

Also participating this year will be longtime Satwiwa Culture Center guest artist Nadiya Littlewarrior.  Nadiya will bring her collection of gourd art and visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the art form and its significance.   About her artistic process, Nadiya said “People ask me if I make the gourds.  I tell them that the Creator makes the gourds and I get to dress them up.” 

 

The Satwiwa Winter Solstice Art Show and Sale has been an annual event for over ten years.  It will be an opportunity for families to learn more about traditional and contemporary indigenous life ways, discover new art forms, and enjoy the winter season.
