About Jordan Bennett:
Jordan Bennett is L’nu (Mi’kmaq), from Stephenville Crossing, Newfoundland (Ktaqmkuk). He currently works and lives in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, NS). Having a methodology that is deeply guided by the Land of his ancestors, his ongoing work possesses qualities of familiarity that can serve as a connection for a wide range of audiences spanning culture and generation. His work, though not always directly challenging colonial perceptions of Indigenous histories and presence, lends itself to discussions regarding contemporary Indigenous realities within urban and rural communities. His ongoing practice utilizes sculpture, painting, video, immersive installations, and sound to explore land, language, the act of visiting and his familial histories. Bennett currently holds the position of Associate Professor, Expanded Media at NSCAD University. He received his BFA from Memorial University (Grenfell Campus) 2008, and an MFA from the University of British Columbia Okangan, 2016. Since 2008 he has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally in over 100 group and solo shows as well as created multiple public art commissions throughout Canada.
