Join us in our Cook Auditorium for an evening with Diné weaver and fiber artist, Roy Kady. Kady describes himself as a shepherd and an artist, having learned to weave at the age of nine from his grandmother, grandfather, and mother. His work is deeply inspired by the landscapes his sheep guide him to. Inspired by the beautiful Arizona wilderness, he takes the colors and geometric forms he observes in the environment back to his loom. In this talk, he will discuss his work, processes, and inspirations, and will show a 15-minute clip from the documentary "A Gift From Talking God," which delves into his process as a shepherd and the importance of the Navajo-Churro sheep in Navajo culture.

Kady’s art piece, "Tell Me A Secret," is on view in our Wapiti Gallery as part of the "A Conceptual Thread" exhibition through November 2nd, 2025.

Snacks and nonalcholic beverages will be provided. This is a FREE community event.
