Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. 20 pp, first edition. APPEARS NEW!

The five artists whose work it documents are Shirley Bear, Lance Belanger, Maria Cisneros, Paul Clair, and Ron Noganosh.Shirley Bear (1936-2022) was a Wolastoqiyik artist, poet, traditional herbalist, and activist from Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, part of the Wabanaki Confederacy. She studied photography and painting at the Whistler House Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and received a Ford Foundation fellowship in 1969.

He came to fine art through backgrounds in graphic design and welding, entering the University of Ottawa fine arts program in 1980, where he discovered collage, assemblage, and installation as his primary modes. He became one of the most significant Indigenous artists working in Ottawa, recognized as a pioneer in assemblage work combining traditional materials with found objects and consumer detritus, deploying humour and irony as tools for political critique. Central to his work were the complex and intertwined issues of survival in contemporary Native communities — language, the environment, territory, culture, identity, health, and self-governance — alongside an insistence that these issues were inseparable from broader global concerns.…
