Laura Grier

September 18th – Nov 1st, 2025

Ceremonial/Art is thrilled to present Godi/Fragments by Sahtu Délı̨nę artist and printmaker Laura Grier. Born in Somba ké (Yellowknife), and based out of Alberta and Toronto, they instrumentalize the power of the handmade to reflect Indigeneity, language, relational ontologies, and lived experiences of urban displacement and inherent Dene spirituality. Laura’s work is inspired by the dynamism of Indigenous art practices and uses printmaking as a tool for resistance, refusal, and reflexivity. 

“This series of Screen Prints and Lithographs are based on personal stories of growing up as an Indigenous woman. These stories are common among ‘Aboriginal’ people who have had to balance experiences of racism and inherited trauma, with our inherited responsibility to culture and traditions. Having been born away from my tradition land, I use printmaking to revitalize my own Deline culture and knowledge. These prints are not only records of my own experiences, but are an example of Indigenous story telling and resilience.”
