Maria Hupfield

My practice evidences the body as site of resistance and agency, often involving the viewer in the construction of narratives in relationship to land, place and one another. The work I create is interdisciplinary and often reflects the power dynamics of fourth world existence, while exploring alternative non-Western forms of knowledge. Working across disciplines allows me to engage in intersecting points of dialogue between Western and non-Western visual representations and philosophical approaches. My work crosses a range of 2D and 3D media, including performance.

I am of Anishnaabe (Ojibway) heritage, and a member of Wasauksing First Nation, in Ontario.
