Braided Grass

Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill is a Cree and Métis multimedia artist and writer, living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Through creating sculptures, collage, and installation works with found objects, she explores and questions the capitalistic treatment of land as an economic capital, which leads the land contamination and violence against people living on the land. As a member of BUSH Gallery, Hill is also involved in group art projects, through which artists embody the indigenous way of knowing and art practice, as a means of decentralizing Eurocentric theorization of art. Hill was longlisted for the 2019 Sobey Art Award. In 2024, she was awarded a VIVA Award by the Jack and Doris Shadbolt Foundation.
