Denae Shanidiin’s (Diné/ Honágháahnii/ Kinłichíi'nii/ Bilagáana/Korean) work speaks to her own identity as an Indigenous woman and artist. Her photography reveals her Diné ancestry through intimate family portraits in urban settings and on her homeland.

Shanidiin’s projects depict the importance of Indigenous spirituality and sovereignty, and brings awareness to many contemporary First Nation issues, including Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
