About the Artist:
Jennifer is an Anishinaabe and Taíno transmedia artist who builds worlds through photography, illustration, installation, beads, and short fiction. Pulling from her degree in Studio Art from Dartmouth College, and from her background in the Lac Courte Oreilles band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the Higuayagua Taíno of the Caribbean, she regards art as a toolkit for hope, resistance, and medicine.
Current work:
An evolving multifaceted series—spanning across written, visual, and sound art—rooted in Indigenous Futurism and tackling the interface between tribal and national/international structures
A beaded and illustrated series centering traditional and survival foods within Indigenous culture
A beaded series celebrating Indigenous literatures
A photographic and portrait series investigating the compression, dilation, and rearrangement of light, space, and time
Within all of these series blooms a body of work centering resurgence and a crumbling of colonialism.
