New Print Edition at Highpoint

I had the pleasure of working with Highpoint over recent months to produce some new work.


"Highpoint Editions is thrilled to announce the publication of a powerful new print edition by Minnesota-based indigenous artist Julie Buffalohead. The print, titled Tone Deaf, is produced in an edition of 15 impressions, using lithography, screenprinting and collage. With this print, Buffalohead continues the thematic bent of much of her work, depicting American Indian experience through personal metaphor and narrative, drawing from traditional stories and contextualizing motifs of cultural identity."

"This piece stems from recent events, specifically the Covid pandemic and the politicization of the epidemic. The two coyote figures exist in a suspended space in which they are mirroring each other, sentient and vulnerable. They are representative of groups that are polarized in the United States, who are validating their own world views inside a narrow vacuum"

    Julie Buffalohead on tricksters, colonizers, and the state of Native art

    In the world of Julie Buffalohead, coyotes wear tutus, host tea parties, and play with shadow puppets. They, and their fellow animals, are allegorical figures — stand-ins for subjects both overtly political and deeply personal.

    Now, one of Buffalohead’s anthropomorphic fables, called The Garden (a sly commentary on the controversy over a scaffold sculpture at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden), is at Mia as part of “Hearts of Our People: Native Women Art,” the first major exhibition of art by Native American women. On June 27, Buffalohead appeared at Mia for a conversation about her art with Jill Ahlberg Yohe, the museum’s former associate curator of Native American art.

    At the evening’s onset, with an image of Buffalohead’s piece Trickster Showdown projected above their heads, Ahlberg Yohe asked Buffalohead to introduce herself. “I guess I’m gonna have to,” Buffalohead laughed. A member of the Ponca tribe, she grew up in Minnesota and now lives and works in St. Paul. She found refuge in art from a young age, and eventually earned a BFA at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as well as an MFA fr

      Storytelling: Julie Buffalohead

      Julie Buffalohead creates visual narratives told by animal characters who have personhood, agency, and individuality. Like all great storytellers, Buffalohead connects the mythical with the ordinary, the imaginary, and the real, and offers a space into which viewers can bring their own experiences. As we enter her worlds, she coaxes us to discover additional layers of meaning—social, historical, political, personal—using metaphor, wisdom, and wit. The rabbits and coyotes that feature prominently in Buffalohead’s work often play the part of trickster in Native storytelling. The artist uses the trickster in a variety of ways, representing all the different forms humanity can take: “[The trickster] introduces chaos into the world. . . but at the same time, he is a creator and creates worlds. He represents what it means to actually be a human being and to have all these feelings and emotions and contradiction within yourself.”This new body of work incorporates the coyote and crows, familiar subjects in work, as well as self-portraiture, to tackle weighty subjects such as forced incarceration, citizenship, historical trauma, and policies of cultu

        Julie Buffalohead's work has focused thematically upon describing Indian cultural experience through personal metaphor and narrative. Just as frequently as the work has been evocative of animals, anthropomorphism and nature, it has been a critique of the simulacrum of the Old West, and of the prejudicial commercialization of Native culture. 

        She is a member of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma. She has had solo exhibitions at Carleton College, St. Thomas University, St. Johns University, Bockley Gallery in Minneapolis, The Plains Art Museum, and  Minnesota Museum of American Art.

         Buffalohead (b. ) lives and works in St. Paul, MN and is represented by Jessica Silverman in San Francisco, CA.
