Painting, Sculpture, and Photography
What non-Hopis have called art, katsintithu carving, basketry
and pottery, Hopis consider as ceremonial and/or functional traditions,
natural to everyday living. It is interesting to note
that there is no Hopi word for "art." Much of what non-Hopis call
art is actually sacred imagery to the Hopi people. A goal of
the HCPO is to educate both the Hopi and non-Hopi public on the
controversy that surrounds the commercialization of this sacred
imagery. Hopi contemporary works integrate the Hopi lifeway into
a variety of mediums such as painting, sculpture, and photography.
