A mobile portrait project across and near the Navajo Nation

Documenting Axle Contemporary’s September 2016 mobile studio, this volume gathers more than 700 portraits made in communities across New Mexico and Arizona, including Gallup, Window Rock, Chinle, Shiprock, and Farmington. Every participant appears with a small personal object, creating a recurring visual framework that links individual presence with self-chosen belongings. The book also records the project’s public, participatory process: portraits were printed on site, with one copy given to the sitter and another added to the mobile studio-gallery’s exterior. Essays by the artists and the director of the Navajo Nation Museum, alongside a poem by the Navajo Nation Poet Laureate, place the photographic archive in a broader cultural and community context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in participatory and mobile art initiatives
  • Those seeking visual documentation connected to the Navajo Nation

Book overview

The book is the result of Axle Contemporary's mobile portrait project which took place on and adjacent to the Navajo Nation in New Mexico and Arizona in September, 2016. The book contains over 700 photographic portraits, images of the project in action, essays by the artists and the director of the Navajo Nation Museum and a poem by the Navajo Nation Poet Laureate. The Axle Contemporary free portrait studio was open to all people, in locations on and near the Navajo Nation from September 2 through September 13, 2016, visiting Gallup, Prewitt, Toadlena, Window Rock, Chinle, Shiprock, and Farmington. Each participant held a small personal object in their portrait. Photos were immediately printed in the mobile studio --one given to the participant and one pasted to the exterior of the mobile studio-gallery.
