This week we welcome Chandra Melting Tallow

 

Chandra Melting Tallow is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, writer and music producer of European and Blackfoot ancestry from the Siksika Nation. Their practice confronts the ghosts of intergenerational trauma and their relationship to the body through the lens of physical disability, using humour and surrealism to subvert oppressive power structures. They lead the solo music project Mourning Coup, a cult classic in the Indigenous lexicon of underground music. Their work includes experimental film, textile-based installation, sound and performance, and it has been exhibited throughout North America.
