Whess Harman is a member of the Carrier Wit’at Nation, a nation amalgamated by the federal government under the Lake Babine Nation and currently resides on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. He doesn’t like cops and believes in land sovereignty for Indigenous peoples across the globe, including Palestine. In his arts practice he works primarily in drawing, text and textiles. As an independant curator and occasional editor and contributor of art publications, they prioritize emerging queer and BIPOC cultural workers and artists.

the statement-y section you do not need to read while introducing me if I was bad and didn’t send you my bio in time for the thing (sorry):

While working through many mediums, Whess is often working through ideas of resistance, and works from the foundation of his identity as a queer, trans member of Carrier Wit’at nation living away from his territories. They position their Indigeneity as both a cultural and spiritual reality, as well as a political identity. He seeks liberated futures alongside the many others who share rage and despair in the face of the seemingly unrelenting shit-storm of empire building.
