Roy Talahaftewa: Master Hopi Silversmith - Epi. 258, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I think the reason I do these podcasts is for guests like the one I just had on, which is Roy Talahaftewa. I have to say, he is such a genuine, wonderful person, artist, and someone that I think everyone should get to know if they don't already.For one thing, just on the silversmith part, he's won best of show at the Indian Market events the Heard Museum, and the Museum of Northern Arizona, but also at the Santa Fe Indian Market. I could be wrong but don't think anybody has accomplished that before. The one at the Museum of Northern Arizona was this year, so 2023. We just talk about a lot of things. About his life, about where he's been and gone, the process of becoming an artist and what that requires, whether you're a Hopi silversmith or, you know, someone dealing in contemporary art or Western art.Roy is clearly a dedicated artist and also just a genuinely kind person. So I had a great time. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Roy Talahaftewa on episode 258 of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.
