Mallery Quetawki is from the Pueblo of Zuni in western New Mexico. She is currently a Communications and Outreach specialist with the Community Environmental Health Program at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. Mallery has used art to translate scientific ideas, health impacts and research on uranium mines that are currently undergoing study in several Indigenous communities. Her recent work titled, “Our Cultures, Our Languages” was displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City in the Grounded in Clay exhibit in the American Wing from July 2023 through June 2024.
Mallery also has a large-scale mural titled, “Morning Prayer”, on permanent display at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center which depicts the history of the Zuni People from Creation to modern times.
