Making space for Indigenous artists to lead
Logan MacDonald wants to create more opportunities for Indigenous knowledge and leadership within institutions. As one of just a few Indigenous faculty members at the University of Waterloo, the Studio Arts professor’s commitment to Indigenization will play an important part in the University’s actions toward reconciliation.
A visual artist, curator and educator, MacDonald is nationally recognized for his work that focuses on Indigenous, disability and queer perspectives. He joined Waterloo’s Department of Fine Arts in 2019 and was named Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Indigenous art in 2020, a position he is dedicating to redressing educational and leadership inequities within the field of Fine Arts.
