Jordan Bennett (born 1986) is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and member of the Qalipu First Nation[1][2] from Stephenville Crossing, Newfoundland,[3] also known as Ktaqamkuk.
Main sources of inspiration come from his interactions with Mi'kmaq and Beothuk porcupine quill designs, baskets, beadwork, clothing, and petroglyphs.
jilaqami’g no’shoe, created in 2009, is a skateboard carved into a snowshoe, referencing Indigenous skater culture and traditional practices.
[4] He also participates in a collaboration with Amy Malbeuf under the moniker, Neon Kokhom, which is meant to "poke fun at indigenous stereotyping and its role in Canada's lucrative souvenir industry[12]".
The residency was supported, in part, by the Initiative for Indigenous Futures and hosted by the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, University of British Columbia Okanagan.
