The Walker Art Center’s new exhibit, “Dyani White Hawk: Love Language,” is now open and runs through Feb. 15. The show is White Hawk’s largest to date, a milestone in an already distinguished career that includes MacArthur “Genius” and Guggenheim fellowships, and acquisitions by the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.

White Hawk reflected on her exhibit’s opening weekend in Minneapolis with MPR News host Nina Moini.
