Jake Kimble
About
Jake Kimble is a multidisciplinary lens-based Chipewyan (Dëne Sųłıné) artist from Treaty 8 territory in the Northwest Territories whose practice revolves around acts of self-care, self-repair, and gender-based ideological refusal. Kimble currently works on the stolen territory of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Grow Up Series - Investigating familial archives, Kimble seeks to reconcile some of the truths and traumas of his childhood by combining the historic with the present. By layering text from a contemporary viewpoint directly onto himself as a child, he aims to create an ontological sense of self while also addressing power relations.

En se penchant sur des archives familiales, l’artiste veut réconcilier certaines vérités et certains traumatismes de son enfance grâce à la rencontre de l’histoire et du présent. Avec la superposition de textes ayant un point de vue contemporain sur la photographie de l’enfant qu’iel était, Kimble cherche à créer un sens ontologique du soi tout en abordant des relations de pouvoir existantes.
