Joi T. Arcand is an artist from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation in central Saskatchewan (Treaty 6 Territory), currently based in Ottawa. Her early work in photography and digital collage images was informed by her interest in graphic and typographic arts. Arcand’s practice imagined what an indigenized public space could be, by rendering streetscapes and communities with typographic inclusions of nehiyawewin, or Plains Cree (Y dialect), language. Her work has evolved to place site-specific neon signage in Cree syllabics throughout the interiors and exteriors of buildings.
