Artist
Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds
Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds is a Cheyenne and Arapaho artist working across painting, installation, and public intervention since the 1980s. His practice engages Indigenous sovereignty, colonial history, and the politics of naming and representation in American public space. He employs text, architectural intervention, and site-specific work to reclaim visibility for Native American presence and critique the erasure embedded in institutional and civic settings. His work operates at the intersection of visual art and activism, refusing the separation between aesthetic and political address.
