Anne Riley is an interdisciplinary artist of Slavey Dene (Fort Nelson First Nation) and German ancestry.[1] Born in Dallas, Texas, Riley currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.[2] Several of Riley's works derive from her identity as Indigiqueer,[3] a term coined by Cree artist TJ Cuthand,[4] and commonly used by Indigenous artists including Oji-Cree storyteller, Joshua Whitehead.[5] The term is interconnected with Two-spirit, an identity and role that continues to be vital within and across many Indigenous nations.[6][4] Through artistic projects, Riley engages Indigenous methodologies that prioritize learning through embodiment, nurturing communities as well as the non-human world.[7] Riley received her BFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 2012.[8] Riley is a recipient of the City of Vancouver Studio Award (2018–2021).[9]
