  • Catherine Blackburn is a multidisciplinary artist and a member of the English River First Nation in Saskatchewan. Her work grounds itself in the Indigenous feminine and is bound through the ancestral love that stitching suggests. Often prompted by personal narratives, she addresses Indigenous sovereignty, decolonization, and representation through her work.
