BLACKWING VOL. 574
The Native American Art
The Blackwing 574 is a tribute to Native American art and the 574 nations that use it to assert agency and identity. As more and more Native Americans were displaced by westward-expanding colonialism, art became a vessel for preserving their culture as well as their history. Their daily lives were recorded through paintings, songs, stories, and dances.
Blackwing worked with Kaw, Osage, Lakota artist Chris Pappan to design a pencil that evokes geometric patterns found throughout many Native American expressions of culture. Each pencil features deep vivid earth tones with golden accents and firm graphite.
