Please join this week’s episode of 5 Plain Questions podcast as we interview the amazing Cannupa Hanska Luger. We couldn’t be more excited about this episode! C...annupa Hanska Luger is a multi-disciplinary artist of Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Lakota and European descent. Through monumental installations that incorporate ceramics, video, sound, fiber, steel and repurposed materials, Luger interweaves performance and political action to communicate stories about 21st century Indigeneity. Using social collaboration and in response to timely and site-specific issues, Luger produces multi-pronged projects which oftentimes presents a call to action, provoking diverse publics to engage with Indigenous peoples and values apart from the lens of colonial social structuring. Luger lectures and participates in residencies and projects around the globe and his work is collected internationally. Luger is a recipient of a 2021 United States Artists award, 2020 Creative Capital Award recipient, a 2019 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant recipient and the recipient of the 2018 Museum of Arts and Design’s inaugural Burke Prize. Luger holds a BFA in studio arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts. www.cannupahanska.com @cannupahanska #cannupahanskaluger #plainsartmuseum #canaa #elevenwarriorarts #art #indigenousart #nativeamericanart See more

Ruth Cuthand Edition: COVID 19 Seven colour screen print on Black Stonehenge 13 x 18 inches $200, Edition of 50 Printed by Michael Peterson, VOID All profits... will be donated to Prairie Harm Reduction https://akasaskatoon.squarespace.com/ Surviving COVID 19 Surviving is a series of contemporary diseases marked by the discovery of HIV. These new diseases include: H1N1, West Nile, Hanta, H5N1, Hepatitis C and most recently COVID 19. As Indigenous people we are very aware of our health. Substandard housing, lack of clean water and poverty are leading causes of poor health. I was worried that COVID 19 would lead to deaths of Indigenous people. Most reserves shut down roads and quarantined residents, this helped to keep numbers down. The pandemic has been scary and boring at the same time. -Ruth Cuthand Through the tremendous generosity of @beadingqueencuthand AKA has produced a limited edition screenprint of one of Cuthand’s COVID 19 beadworks from the series Surviving. Printed by Michael Peterson at @voidgallery, the edition is a seven layer screen print made with archival ink on black cotton rag paper and signed by the artist. All profits generated from the print will then be donated to @prairieharmreduction to help support the operations of Saskatchewan's First Safe Consumption Site. Additionally, each print purchased prior to December 1st will be entered into a draw to receive a $250 gift certificate to Art Placement’s framing shop. Use the gift certificate to get your newly purchased print custom framed!
