Ruth Cuthand – Artist Feature


RUTH CUTHAND: BACK TALK is a comprehensive, mid-career retrospective of one of Saskatchewan’s most significant contemporary artists. Cuthand was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in 1954, and is of Plains Cree and Scottish ancestry. Her works “talk back” to mainstream media and colonial society, addressing the frictions between cultures, the failures of representation, and the political uses of anger in Canada.

In this video feature, Ruth Cuthand and exhibition curator, Jen Budney, explore the exhibition and elaborate on Cuthand’s practice.
