The Richardson Lab hosted Mallery Quetawki, an artist and member of the Zuni pueblo who uses art as a tool to bring together Western science and traditional knowledge. Mallery gave a wonderful presentation in the Ecoinformatics Seminar titled “Communicating Environmental Health Science to Native Communities through Native-themed and Native-created Art,” which attracted the largest audience of any seminar we’ve had in the last 4 years and was a fantastic way to kick off the new semester.
One of the paintings Mallery discussed in seminar, DNA Repair, is shown below and is reproduced with Mallery’s permission. You can read more about her work on her webpage.
