Demian DinéYazhi´ is a transdisciplinary Indigenous Diné nádleehi´ artist, poet, and curator. In 2018 they self-published two books of poetry, ANCESTRAL MEMORY: poems 2009-2016, and AN INFECTED SUNSET. Demian’s stance as a self-publishing poet is a political statement of maintaining autonomy without the jurisdiction or approval from Western-trained editors, publishers, or critics. Demian also publishes zines and publications through R.I.S.E.: Radical Indigenous Survivance & Empowerment.
