Ruth Cuthand
Canadian artist
Ruth Cuthand (born 1954) is a Canadian artist of Plains Cree and Scots ancestry.[1] She is considered an influential feminist artist of the Canadian prairies, and is lauded for her interpretation of racism and colonialism.[2] Her work challenges mainstream perspectives on colonialism and the relationships between settlers and Indigenous people in a practice marked by political invective, humour, and a deliberate crudeness of style.[3]
Early life
Born on Treaty 6 Land, near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Cuthand is a member of Little Pine First Nation,[4] but spent most of her childhood in Cardston, Alberta near the Blood Reserve, where she met artist Gerald Tailfeathers at the age of 8, which compelled her to pursue a career as an artist.[5][6]
Cuthand earned a BFA from the University of Saskatchewan in 1983, and a MFA, also from the University of Saskatchewan in 1992.
