Maker Charlene Vickers Anishinaabe, Canadian, born 1970
Label TextVickers’s work explores memory, healing, and embodied connections to ancestral lands. Like scores of otherchildren in Canada, Vickers was barred from learning Indigenous history, knowledge, and traditions. The cultural loss she experienced and her ongoing process of regaining Indigenous knowledge and artistic skills became the foundation of her artistic practice. The traumatic histories of disappeared and murdered First Nations women in Canada form the conceptual backdrop of this work.
