This chapter examines the wordless woodcut narratives of Czech artist Helena Bochořáková-Dittrichová (1894–1980), focusing on Indiani Jindy a Dnes (1934), which depicts Native American history from pre-colonial times through colonization. The analysis shows how a European artist critiqued colonialism by drawing parallels between Native American experiences and Central European histories of occupation. The chapter argues that Bochořáková-Dittrichová’s vision of women-led communities centered on weaving and craft offers alternatives to colonial violence while demonstrating the transnational reach of woodcut modernism.

This chapter examines the wordless woodcut narratives of Czech artist Helena Bochořáková-Dittrichová (1894–1980), focusing on Indiani Jindy a Dnes (1934), which depicts Native American history from pre-colonial times through colonization. The analysis shows how a European artist critiqued colonialism by drawing parallels between Native American experiences and Central European histories of occupation. The chapter argues that Bochořáková-Dittrichová’s vision of women-led communities centered on weaving and craft offers alternatives to colonial violence while demonstrating the transnational reach of woodcut modernism.
