The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists sharing about their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.
About the Presenters:
Stacy Fayant
Stacey Fayant, Métis, Nehiyaw, Saulteaux and French, was born and raised in Regina Saskatchewan. She is a member of Peepeekisis First Nation. She received her BFA in Printmaking and painting from the University of Regina in 2002 and her BA in Women’s Studies in 2004. Stacey uses many mediums in her art practice, felting, sewing, dance, beading, painting and tattoo are some examples, but her art has always centred on family, trauma, identity, history, colonialism and how these diverse ideas mingle to form the foundations of how we relate to ourselves, our communities and our world.
Josh Harnack
My work is an ongoing exploration of finding my voice, and using my passion and skills to help others find theirs. Overcoming cancer as a young adult taught me about the value of time and the importance of authenticity, highlighting the delicate balance between what is within our control and what isn’t. Rather than striving to fit in, I’ve chosen to celebrate the strange, the imperfect, and the extraordinary parts of myself. This gives me the freedom to create my own reality, while leaving the rest to fate.
