Harbour Collective features Artist Dianne Ouellette

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

Identity, memory, and family history are the threads that bind Métis film and multimedia artist, Dianne Ouellette to her creative practice. She is the person seeking to know and every dot connected illuminates her path. The pull she feels towards her ancestors is another guiding light and a source of inspiration for cultural expressions in film and photography. Sharing the diversity of Métis experiences is at the heart of her storytelling and though she enjoys sharing what she knows, does not claim to be the voice of all Métis people. Dianne is concerned with “trying to get the words right” and though she is not likely to be the loudest person in the room, the edge of her power is in her thoughtfulness. Dianne’s creative work speaks volumes, from the curatorial and writing projects that connect communities across artificial boundaries, to the education initiatives that are inclusive of all abilities.

Working extensively in film, corporate video, and ethnographic research has equipped Dianne with an applied skillset that supports her passion for arts and activism. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre (1993), a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Video (1995), and a Master of Fine Arts in Media Production (2020). This combination of knowledge and experience shapes the vivid imagery and attention to detail that is unique to her storytelling. Daisies are a recurring theme in her work, representing death and the delicate threads of earthly existence. You can trace the depths of mortality in her works, aen loo pawatamihk (2020) and Cry Wolf (2017), a tribute to her beloved family dog that is available to explore online.[1] Dianne’s creativity and advocacy can be subtle, but the effect is no less powerful. “I find ways of being an activist through empathy and compassion,” says Dianne. For Dianne, the goal of film is creating awareness and sharing knowledge and feelings of empowerment.

Dianne is not chasing down CEO’s or talking heads to inform her interpretations. She is speaking to the people directly impacted by the problem, or walking on the land, seeking out moments where an animal in nature acknowledges your presence. These interactions are her defining moments and she says, “I don’t want to invade their territory and I respect their process: If they see me, I leave.” She has been passionate about animals her entire life, and she felt called to embark on a journey in Grasslands National Park to film the absence of wolves in 2021. Pushed out and hunted to extinction by farmers and ranchers, the prairie wolf is honoured in a recent production, lii bufloo aen loo kishkishiw (buffalo wolf memory). While grief and loss are tethered to Indigenous languages that have also vanished, the film also points to what remains in reach on the horizon. In every web there are wisps of opportunity, for relearning and reclaiming.
