About the Artist
Based in Toronto, Wanda Nanibush is the founding director of aabaakwad, an international yearly gathering of Indigenous curators, writers and artists that last took place at Venice Biennale. She recently won the Toronto Book Award for her co-authored book “Moving the Museum” which chronicles some of her groundbreaking work at the Art Gallery of Ontario as the Inaugural curator of Indigenous Art.
“…Ms. Nanibush has become one of the most powerful voices for Indigenous culture in the North American art world — a realm in which Canada has carved a distinct, and influential, approach.”
