What we wrote when Elwood Jimmy took part in Episode 11, 2024:
Elwood Jimmy (nehiyaw/nakawe) is originally from the Thunderchild First Nation, a Nêhiyaw community in the global north (what is today called Canada). For over 25 years, he has played a leadership role in several art projects, collectives, and organizations locally and abroad. He is the Curator of Indigenous programs for the Musagetes Foundation. He is a novice gardener and aquarist, and the time immersed in service to his plant and other non-human companions regularly inspires and informs his artistic and life practices. Along with Vanessa Andreotti, he is the author of Towards Braiding, which explores the conditions that make possible ethical and rigorous relational engagement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, scholars, communities and institutions.
