Julius Badoni: My art is a protest, a protest in various mediums (oil, acrylic, charcoal, and graphite) for the purposes of raising awareness about the effects of colonization on Indigenous communities. I grew up on the Navajo reservation, hence witnessed firsthand the effects of exploitation on my community. The need to create comes out of a need to express myself; my frustration with the complacency that is a direct result of injustice that is justified by stereotypes and misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples. I believe in educating and unifying people through my art. My ancestors were critical thinkers, eclectics, and always had an “Interdisciplinary” approach. They inspire me every day to take my "art" to the next level.
