Tanya Lukin Linklater's first European solo museum show at Portikus
Portikus in Frankfurt is presenting 'Crested', Tanya Lukin Linklater's first institutional solo exhibition in Europe. The show features a new cycle of works including bentwood sculptures, textile installations, beadwork, and watercolors. Lukin Linklater's work engages questions of belonging, memory, and Indigenous knowledge amid the afterlives of colonial violence. She has lived for over fifteen years in North Bay, Northern Ontario, on Nbisiing Anishnaabeg territory, with Sugpiaq roots in Afognak and Port Lions, Alaska—a region shaped by Russian colonialism and American rule. 'Crested' addresses continuance through Sugpiaq visual culture.
