Tune in Thursday, March 4th, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CT⁣ for a talk by award-winning interdisciplinary artist Adrian Stimson. Stimson is a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation in Southern Alberta. He holds BFA with distinction from the Alberta College of Art and Design and MFA from the University of Saskatchewan. Stimson’s performance art looks at identity construction, specifically the hybridization of the Indian, the cowboy, the shaman and Two Spirit being. Buffalo Boy and The Shaman Exterminator are two reoccurring personas in Stimson’s performative repertoire. His monochromatic paintings, often depict bison in imagined landscapes, explore cultural fragility, resilience, and nostalgia. A residential school survivor, Stimson’s installations examine the residential school experience, using the material culture from Old Sun Residential School on his Nation to create works that speak to genocide, loss and resilience.⁣

Stimson was awarded the Governor General Award for Visual and Media Arts in 2018, the REVEAL Indigenous Arts Award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in 2017 the Blackfoot Visual Arts Award in 2009, the Alberta Centennial Medal in 2005, and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2003.⁣
