FREE

Nanibaa Beck provides a history of Diné jewelry over the century, focusing on changes in each decade. Beck highlights the shifting techniques, styles, and meaning of the art over the years. Also incorporated is the impact of boarding schools, training schools and access to new styles and materials on Navajo jewelry over this expanded period of time.

This program is cohosted by Mohave Community College – Lake Havasu Library. This is an in-person event.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Nanibaa Beck is a 2nd generation DinĂ© (Navajo) jeweler. Being intricately connected to the creation process motivated Nanibaa to become more knowledgeable about the multifaceted areas surrounding Native American Art. In November 2013, Nanibaa founded NotAbove Jewelry. Her a-ha moment to pursue jewelry occurred after a small thank you card project sparked the idea for the original language necklaces. They were the beginning of the thoughtful and intentional handmade creations that connect to her DinĂ© culture. Today, NotAbove reflects vibrant Native creative expressions and the growth of an DinĂ© ‘AsdzĂ¡Ă¡ (woman) as a metalsmith.
