About Marianne Nicolson
Marianne Nicolson is a Dzawada'enuxw (Kwakwaka'wakw) artist based in
Victoria. She has a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and a
MFA in Visual Art from the University of Victoria. Marianne is interested in
pursuing a deeper understanding of the Kwakwaka'wakw language, Kwakwa'la,
and how this language and art address concepts of space and time in the
context of an indigenous worldview. This has led her to complete an MA in
Linguistics and Anthropology and now pursue a PhD at the University of
Victoria. Marianne works in a diverse range of artistic media, including
painting, photography, mixed-media, sculpture and installation and her work
is shown nationally and internationally.

This public program is presented as part of the Gallery's featured
exhibition. That Which Makes Us Haida ­ the Haida Language documents the
last remaining fluent speakers of the Haida language and their dedication to
keeping their language alive, through riveting personal portraits and
insightful interviews with elders. This exhibition runs through September 9,
2012.
