Biography

Linklater was raised in Afognak and Port Lions in Kodiak Island (Alaska). Married to Omaskêko Ininiwakartist Duane Linklater, she now lives and works in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. [1]

Holding a B.A. (honours) from Stanford University and a M.Ed. from the University of Alberta, Linklater is currently pursuing a PhD in cultural studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. [2]

Her practice includes performance, works for camera, writings, and installations, with an emphasis on collaboration with other Indigenous artists. [3] Linklater's work is informed by the relationships between bodies, histories, poetry, pedagogy, Indigenous conceptual spaces, including Indigenous languages, and institutions. [4]

Linklater was selected as the first Annual Indigenous Artist-In-Residence at All My Relations Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She served in the role from February 26 to March 5, 2017. [5] That same year she was named artist-in-residence at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). During her August residency, she collaborated with dancers on the performance Sun Force as a response to the AGO's exhibition Rita Letendre: Fire and Light. [6]

In 2017, she co-founded the Wood Land School at the SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art along with her husband and fellow artist, Duane, curator cheyanne turions and artist-author Walter Kaheró:ton Scott. [7] Wood Land School: Kahatenhstánion tsi na’tetiatere ne Iotohrkó:wa tánon Iotohrha / Drawing Lines from January to December was explained by the collection as a "single year-long exhibition that will unfold through a series of gestures—clusters of activity that bring works into and out of the gallery space—such that the exhibition is in a constant state of becoming." [8]

In 2022, Tanya participated in the Aichi Triennale and the Toronto Biennial of Art. [9]

Awards

In 2013 Linklater received the K.M. Hunter Artist Award in Literature. [10] She has also been awarded multiple grants from the Ontario Arts Council. [11] In 2018, Linklater was awarded the Inaugural Wanda Koop Research Fund, presented by Canadian Art magazine. [12]
