The Ephemerals are a collective of Indigenous women from Winnipeg, Manitoba interested in curatorial and creative based research. The collective was established to function as an outlet to foster and motivate artistic production both within their individual practices as well as to engage collaborative projects that revolve around Indigenous contemporary art. Their focus is on Indigenous culture within a political and social context responding to contemporary issues. The Ephemerals draw inspiration from their combined curatorial, multidisciplinary art practices, and mixed cultural backgrounds. The collective’s projects are fueled by collaborative interventions and ephemeral affairs in order to the push the boundaries of perceived Indigeneity. Their interdisciplinary work exhibits an ethereal aesthetic that is transformative and often fleeting, based on their current interests, the spirit of the times, and what compels them to respond to contemporary visual and material culture.
