First Friday Lecture: Artist Talk by Katherine Boyer

Katherine Boyer is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is focussed on methods bound to textile arts and the handmade, including fabric manipulation, papermaking, woodworking and beadwork. Boyer’s art and research are entrenched in Métis history, material culture and personal family narratives. Through the experience of long, slow and considerate laborious processes, Boyer contemplates the use of her own Métis body as a conduit for building upon ancestor relations and exploring notions of a mixed cultural identity. Boyer is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba’s School of Art. (This talk was originally scheduled in May.)
