ABOUT OUR EDUCATOR
Jordanna George is an artist of mixed T’Sou-ke and Ukrainian ancestry. Originally from Sooke, BC, they now live on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) nations in Coquitlam, BC. They received a BFA from the University of Victoria in 2019, and have since been making comics and illustrations, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and hope, and pulling influence from Indigeneity, queerness, and science fiction. The rest of Jordanna’s artistic practice involves painting, printmaking, and weaving. They can be found at jordannageorge.com and on social media as @raebirdart.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Sharni Pootoogook (1922–2003) was a foundational yet under-recognized Inuit artist who used bold linework and balanced design to blur boundaries between human and animal, spiritual and physical, along the way shaping the trajectory of Inuit printmaking during a time of profound cultural change.
