Peter Morin

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, and is informed by dreams, Ancestors, Family members, and performance art as a research methodology. Morin has a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (2001) and a MFA from the University of British Columbia-Okanagan (2010). Morin was longlisted for the Brink (2013) and Sobey Awards (2014), and in 2016, Morin received the Hnatyshyn Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Canadian Mid-Career Artist. Morin currently holds a tenured appointment in the Faculty of Arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design University (Toronto), and is the Graduate Program Director of the Interdisciplinary Master’s in Art, Media and Design program at OCAD.
