Anne Riley
Anne Riley is an interdisciplinary artist of Slavey Dene (
Fort Nelson First Nation) and German ancestry. Born in
Dallas,
Texas, Riley currently lives and works in
Vancouver, Canada. Several of Riley's works derive from her identity as
Indigiqueer, a term coined by
Cree artist
TJ Cuthand, and commonly used by Indigenous artists including
Oji-Cree storyteller,
Joshua Whitehead. The term is interconnected with
Two-spirit, an identity and role that continues to be vital within and across many Indigenous nations. Through artistic projects, Riley engages Indigenous methodologies that prioritize learning through embodiment, nurturing communities as well as the non-human world. Riley received her
BFA from the
University of Texas at Austin in 2012. Riley is a recipient of the City of Vancouver Studio Award (2018–2021).
