Description

Northwest Coast is a publication series edited by Dana Claxton. Collectively, the series highlights the Northwest Coast region as a place in common that underlines the development and thrivance of the contemporary creative practices of five Indigenous women. Each book features a single text by a Northwest Coast First Nations artist in which they reflect on the sociopolitical context for their contemporary art practices and engagement with traditional Indigenous Northwest Coast visual culture. As Dana Claxton notes in her foreword to the texts, “It is my hope that the words and art in these precious volumes contribute to critical consciousness and justice for Indigenous People.”

Northwest Coast #1 features Skeena Reece.

Skeena Reece is an interdisciplinary artist of Cree, Tsimshian, Gitxan and Metis descent. She attended the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, is a former director of the Indigenous Media Art Group and founder of the Native Youth Artists Collective. Her practice includes performance art, spoken word, humour, “sacred clowning,” writing, singing, songwriting, video and visual art.

Softcover, edition of 200.
