Joseph Tisiga

Joseph Tisiga (born 1984) is a multi-disciplinary artist and a member of the Kaska Dena Nation.

[1] Tisiga's artistic practice includes performance, photography, sculpture, and installation, but painting and drawing are at the root of all his work.

His work examines notions of identity, cultural and social inheritance, the mundane, the metaphysical and the mythological.

[3] Collections of Tisiga's work are held by the National Gallery of Canada[4] and the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal.

[6] Tisiga was long-listed for the Sobey Art Award in 2011[7] and in 2009 he was semi-finalist for the RBC Painting Competition.
