Biography

Linklater is Alutiiq and was raised in Afognak and Port Lions on Kodiak Island in Alaska.[1] She now lives and works in North Bay, Ontario.[2] Her practice includes performance, video, and installation, and it emphasizes collaboration with other Indigenous artists.[3] Linklater's work is informed by the relationships between bodies, histories, poetry, pedagogy, Indigenous conceptual spaces, including Indigenous languages, and institutions.[4]

Linklater was selected as the first Annual Indigenous Artist-In-Residence at All My Relations Arts in Minneapolis, MN. She served in the role from February 26 to March 5, 2017.[5] The same year she named artist-in-residence at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). During her August residency she collaborated with dancers on the performance Sun Force as a response to the AGO's exhibition Rita Letendre: Fire and Light.[6]

In 2017 she co-founded the Wood Land School at the SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art along with her husband Duane Linklater, curator cheyanne turions and artist-author Walter Scott.[7] Wood Land School: Kahatenhstánion tsi na’tetiatere ne Iotohrkó:wa tánon Iotohrha / Drawing Lines from January to December was explained by the collection as a "single year-long exhibition that will unfold through a series of gestures—clusters of activity that bring works into and out of the gallery space—such that the exhibition is in a constant state of becoming."[8]

Linklater is pursuing a Ph.D in cultural studies at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. She holds a M.Ed from the University of Alberta and an A.B. (honours) from Stanford University.[9]

Awards

In 2013 Linklater received the K.M. Hunter Artist Award in Literature.[10] She has also been awarded multiple grants from the Ontario Arts Council.[11] In 2018 Linklater was awarded the Inaugural Wanda Loop Research Fund, presented by Canadian Art magazine.[12]
