No matter how far a river meanders, one will always be able to trace its former pathways by looking to the earth surrounding it. In this same way we can return to the voices, teachings, and memories of the Indigenous women that have been systemically wiped from the colonial narrative. Their stories exist beyond the stagnant written record, and are inscribed in the ever-changing archive that is the land itself.
My body is the river … was chosen as one of 10 winners of the International Sculpture Center’s 2023 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award, subsequently shown at the Johnson Atelier and featured in a recent issue of Sculpture magazine.
Hailing from the rolling pastures of Mortlach, Aurora Wolfe is a visual artist, researcher, songwriter, and musician of Cree and Scottish descent. Her work centers on the relationships between Indigeneity and institutions, teasing out stories that have been overshadowed by colonial narratives.
