drawing from my breath by Ryan Dennison

Issue 138

drawing from my breath is an ongoing polaroid series reflecting Diné story telling, queer brown boy love, dreams, intimacy and entanglement; Dennison untilizes temporality of memory in disrupting western beauty standards and challenging his own cultural background. The series practice, process and activation is kinship/ with land and body while negotiating nonlinear indigenous archival space via land poems and queer body constellations of intimacy.

Ryan Dennison is a Diné transdisciplinary artist from Tohatchi, NM, currently living on Tiwa Pueblo Territory (Albuquerque), New Mexico, United States.
