Dana Claxto | Headdress–Jeneen. 2018
Known for her expansive multidisciplinary approach to art making, Dana Claxton investigates notions of Indigenous identity, beauty, gender and the body. Comprising photography, video, text-based work and documentation of her performances. Her practice investigates beauty, the body, the socio-political, and the spiritual.
Her paternal Euro-Canadian grandmother taught her how to harvest and preserve food and her maternal Lakota grandmother taught her to seek justice.
You can read more about Claxton’s practice in the Winter 2019 issue of Canadian Art Magazine
