Harbour Collective features Artist Shawna Farinango

“Get to Know” is a series that profiles Indigenous artists engaged in Harbour projects. Collective member Vanda Fleury connected with Shawna Farinango by Zoom in the Spring of 2022 to bring you this feature article.

Shawna Farinango is driven by a desire to have Indigenous voices and faces reflected in media. Empowering imagery and messaging fuel her artistic pursuits. The layers of her identity and culture are found in the folds of sketchpads and in the keystrokes of digital platforms. Normalizing positive identity is her purpose and her work is founded on the glory of self-acceptance and culturally diverse representations of Indigenous women. She emulates resilient women like her mom, sister, and grandma and says, “they inspire me to chase my dreams and be myself.” Our ancestors leave a legacy of resilience, and Shawna knows this is a rich inheritance.

Shawna’s creations are realized through film and digital illustrations. She combines textures, photographs, and drawings, and her art is an investigation into the connections we as Indigenous people have to community, nature, food, and clothing. Stemming from personal experiences and stories her parents have shared, her art brings their perspectives to life. Shawna’s work is a demonstration of larger issues like Indigenous rights, cultural identity, discrimination, and climate justice and she points out, “it’s not just the pretty of culture.” As these stories evolve, so too does her art…

Shawna Farinango is a Kichwa Artist based in Haudenosaunee territory also known as Hamilton, Ontario. Her work is inspired by the matriarchs in her family and the celebration and honoring of her identity and la pachamama (Mother Earth). Through her art she tries to showcase her experiences of what it means to live in a marginalized brown Indigenous body while reimagining our world, strengthening our collective memory, and materializing the connection that we have to the earth through visual art. She creates art to make the existence of indigenous people visible. She hopes to inspire other Indigenous peoples to celebrate and honor their identities with strength and courage.

Harbour Collective acknowledges the support from the Canada Council for the Arts, Creating, Knowing and Sharing.
