Nīa MacKnight and Isabella Sisneros collaborated with advanced photography students and visual arts faculty at Campbell Hall to create a large-scale wheat paste installation inspired by street art techniques.The final sequence of images were derived from a workshop series where students explored the self as a well of discovery.
Nīa MacKnight is a lens-based artist from Tongva Territory (Los Angeles, California). Her approach to environmental portraiture is informed by the poetics of daily life and the power of ancestral memory. Turning to the paradigms of her Anishinaabe/Húŋkpapȟa Lakhóta/Scottish ancestry, MacKnight explores narratives of self-determination within urban modes of existence.
By blending conceptual and documentary genres, she examines the role of assimilation within the mother wound. Moments of intimacy are harvested in an internal landscape shaped by colonial violence. Through an intergenerational lens, time is framed as a cyclical force where the home becomes a site for healing and transformation.
