Biography
STACEY FAYANT
Stacey Fayant is Métis, Nehiyaw and Saulteaux on her father’s side and French on her mother’s side. She is a visual artist from Regina, Saskatchewan. Her art practice has always focused on concepts surrounding identity and trauma in relation to colonialism and racism, but also in relation to family, community, and healing.
She sees tattooing as a means of reconnecting people and communities, providing a healing medicine for traumas inflicted by colonization and a connection to our Indigenous ancestors, a way home. The act of tattoo is an act of resistance, an act of love and an act of sharing.
