triumphant stories of good medicine

Event Description

Natalie King is a queer interdisciplinary Anishinaabe (Algonquin) artist, facilitator, and member of Timiskaming First Nation. King’s arts practice ranges from video, painting, sculpture and installation, as well as community engagement, curation, and arts administration. King is currently a Programming Coordinator at Xpace Cultural Centre in Tkaronto.

Featuring works on canvas, Natalie King’s work moves through time and space to portray the complexities of a queer urban Anishinaabe life. King highlights the flourishing inner and outer dimensions of this future with queer Indigenous bodies on Turtle Island to illustrate the relationship Indigenous peoples have had with embracing and loving their culture(s), knowledge(s) and identity. Each of these figurative paintings present femmes’ journeys as varied and intricate, depicting their personal realities of community, care, and belonging. King’s artistic practice depicts lived experiences through frameworks of desire and survival.
