Jamie John is a young artist who has been using grief as a tool for creating art.
“Art has been one of the ways that I was able to grieve over my grandfather after his passing,” he said. “My grandfather was an Anishinaabe man who carried a lot of teachings and traditions.”
John has started drawing and sculpting art for a new project, but he needs help.
On Fourth of July weekend, he received an email that his proposal for an exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Art had been accepted. The proposal calls for stories of deceased Anishinaabe and other tribal nations due to mass genocide, murder and epidemics. DIA’s exhibit – Ofrenda – requires artists to develop an altar design to be on display starting in September. He’s already started working on the altar, but is requesting more people share their stories.

The group includes 12 fellows for the directors and screenwriters labs and nine artists participating in the Native and Indigenous lab which focuses on the development of storytellers from those backgrounds through feature film, episodic work and other pursuits.
