Lori Blondeau is a Cree/Saulteaux/Metis artist originally from Regina, SK. Encompassing visual, installation and performance art, Blondeau’s practice explores the influence that popular media, and both contemporary and historical culture, have on Indigenous self-identity, self-image, and self-definition. Images of the Indian Princess and of the Squaw, and their direct impact upon the social perception of Indigenous women, often serve as inspiration for her work. Blondeau is also the co-founder of TRIBE Inc., an artist-run centre for contemporary Indigenous artists in Saskatoon.
