Artistic Revelation | Luzene Hill

Luzene Hill didn’t think of herself as an artist until well into midlife. Today, she’s untethered by discipline in her feminist and Native American matrilineal expression. Hill is an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians living in Cullowhee. A series of recent drawings and a new performance video are at the core of “Revelate,” an exhibition of Hill’s work on view through May 15 at the Asheville Art Museum. In today’s episode, Hill talks about her formative years in Atlanta, her path to artistic expression and the personal and cultural trauma and violence informing her art.
