Ursula Johnson is an interdisciplinary artist from Nova Scotia with Mi’kmaw ancestry. She graduated with a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. Her art draws upon performance, installation and sculpture, often incorporating traditional Mi’kmaw basketry. Johnson explores the impact of colonialism on Indigenous material and linguistic culture, and challenges the museological and ethnographic frame imposed upon it. She has been a finalist for the Salt Spring National Art Prize and twice long-listed for the Sobey Art Award. Her current body of work is featured in the nationally touring exhibition Mi’kwite’tmn (Do You/You Do Remember), from Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery, curated by Robin Metcalfe.
