Biography
Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde is Kanienke’haka from Kahnawake. Her multimedia artistic practice focuses on Indigenous dance and theater, land-based dramaturgy, embodiment, site-specific performance art, co-creative collaborative practice, cultural resurgence and social/political activism, and decolonial methodologies in art. Delaronde’s artistic philosophy is grounded within Indigenous aesthetic practices influenced and shaped by her Haudenosaunee epistemologies and natural law. Her solo and community projects intimately converse with the sociopolitical relationship to land, body, cosmos, identity, eroticism, Indigenous sovereignty and Indigenous feminisms to forge artistic pathways toward a liberatory existence for self-actualization and self-determination. Delaronde is pursuing a PhD in Indigenous Governance at the University of Victoria, where she also serves as Audain Professor of Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest at the University of Victoria. She is a member of the collective Hase’, which works closely with the Awi’nakola Foundation.
