Maria-Margaretta

Maria-Margaretta is Métis interdisciplinary artist from treaty 6 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She is currently living on the stolen territory of Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations.  A recent graduate of Emily Carr University of Art and Design, her work is an exploration of Indigenous representation through social and political issues. Navigating indigeneity through the lenses of both the settler and the settled she attempts to negotiate her sense of self through the implications of existing in a colonial patriarchal system. Utilizing her Métis identity, cultural knowledge, and traditional practice, she challenges assimilation tactics through cultural resurgence and reclamation.
