SDG is reopening Artist-in-Residence and 2 artists are participating in June 2024:

Ulivia Uviluk (Olivia Lya Thomassie) is a multidisciplinary artist from Kangirsuk, Nunavik, QC, whose practice includes film, beading, writing and more. Uviluk learned traditional crafting techniques at beading workshops held during the Aboriginal Youth Forum in 2017, and spent the next year creating earrings and other 3D objects.

Laila Labba is a Sámi contemporary artist and illustrator from Karasjok. Labba works with analog and digital drawing, painting, and printmaking, and her artistry is rooted in Sámi culture and nature. She holds a bachelor’s degree in illustration from the University of Huddersfield and a course-based bachelor’s degree in Knowledge of Indigenous Cultural Expressions and Arts from Sámi Allaskuvla in Kautokeino.
