Tania Willard wants to take you beyond the art gallery
from Q with Tom Power
Tania Willard is an artist who wants you to think beyond the white cube — beyond the sterile white walls and polished floors of the typical art gallery space. Last year, she won the Sobey Art Award, one of Canada’s most prestigious contemporary art prizes, and her work is currently on display at the National Gallery of Canada. In this conversation with guest host Talia Schlanger, the artist and curator from Neskonlith First Nation in B.C. reflects on her childhood, ancestry, and the everyday acts that shape Indigenous resurgence — from basket-making to raising her sons on the land.
