Join us for a talk with artist Judy Anderson! 

Judy Anderson is nêhiyaw from Gordon First Nation, Treaty 4, Saskatchewan. Her practice includes beadwork, installation, three-dimensional pieces, painting, and collaborative projects; her work focuses on spirituality, family, colonization, decolonization, and nêhiyaw ways of knowing and being. Her current work is created with the purpose of honouring people in her life and nêhiyaw intellectualizations of the world. She is a Professor of Canadian Indigenous Studio Art in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Calgary.

Presented by the Concordia University Research Chair in Onkwehonwené:ha (New Scholar) Studio Arts, Hannah Claus.

Hannah Claus is a visual artist of Kanien’kehá:ka and English descent who utilizes material and sensorial processes to express Kanien’kehá:ka ways of knowing and understanding. The objectives of her program are to create a space for Onkwehonwené:ha [Indigenous methodologies] regarding research–creation and to establish a Kanien’kehá:ka ontology. Her transdisciplinary, studio-based research engages with the idea of space shaped by language, material culture and place as transversal living concepts. Claus is a member of Kenhtè:ke | Tyendinaga Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.
