Biographical Information
. Nimkii ~ [21st century] Canadian
Nimkii [they/them] is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, writer, and storyteller. They grew up in Treaty 7 territory in foster care, moving throughout southern Alberta. Their experiences as a metis / nehiyaw / chippewa foster kid deeply inform their artistic practice; and as a storyteller they weave stories that bridge gaps in between, and draw attention to the intersections between liberation and social justice movements; focusing on queer histories, working class history, activism, environmentalism and present day politics. They approach their work through a storytelling lens, placing these histories and truths into personal, understandable and digestible realities into conversation with each other. Nimkii graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine arts from NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is currently an MFA candidate at Alberta University of the Arts.
