Nadya’s artistic practice encompasses three key bodies of work: Concrete Indians, which explores contemporary urban Indigenous identity and decolonial resistance; Red Works Outtakes, which challenges the “stoic Indian” stereotype through uplifting portraiture; and emergence, another open-call series focused on acts of decolonization and Indigenous intelligence.
