Peter Morin is a grandson of Tahltan Ancestor Artists. Morin’s artistic offerings can be organized around four themes: articulating Land/Knowing, articulating Indigenous Grief/Loss, articulating Community Knowing, and understanding the Creative Agency/Power of the Indigenous body. The work takes place in galleries, in community, in collaboration, and on the land. All of the work is informed by dreams, Ancestors, Family members, and Performance Art as a Research Methodology.  Peter Morin currently holds a tenured appointment in the Faculty of Arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto.

âpihtawikosisâniskwêw (Métis/mixed-settler) multidisciplinary artist Moe Clark (she/they) is a 2Spirit singing thunderbird. Born and raised in Treaty 7, they are a proud member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Currently they reside as a guest in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal (QC) where she works as an artist and educator. A dedicated nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree language) and Michif language learner, Moe collaborates intimately with Elders and knowledge keepers to advance language resurgence through song-based practices. She works across disciplines of vocal improvisation, sound design, land-based oskapêw facilitation (ceremonial Elder apprenticeship), and performance creation, to create work that centres embodied knowledge, 2Spirit Indigenous resurgence, and creative kinship.

Moe’s last solo album Within toured across North America and her collaborative video poem nitahkôtân won best Indigenous language music video at the ImagiNative film festival. Moe’s poem “committing a dream / pawâkan Palestine” won the 2024 Ian Ferrier Spoken Word Prize through the Quebec Writers’ Federation. Since 2017 she’s hosted mâmawi musique, a weekly podcast on Espaces Autochtones, highlighting Indigenous music around the globe. Moe co-founded Weather Beings, a 2Spirit international performance collective with Māori artist Victoria Hunt, examining intersections of Métis wâhkôhtowin and Māori whakapapa (kinship systems) by asserting a critical position to reclaim, restore and rematriate feminine and queer knowledges into performance practices.

Currently Moe is a master’s candidate at Concordia University, examining the resurgent practices of 2Spirit drum carriers in community. Moe has performed the world over, including the Lincoln Centre (US), Sydney Opera House (AU) and Origins Festival in London (UK). https://moeclark.bandcamp.com/
