Join us on Thursday, March 26, for a talk with Katsitsanoron Dumoulin-Bush as the launch of Conversations with Indigenous Curators.

Conversations with Indigenous Curators is a new mini-series organized by the IFRC. Grounding curatorial practice as a site of futurity, relationality, and land-based thinking, this series highlights Indigenous curators working in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) who are reshaping how exhibitions are conceived, who they serve, and how knowledge circulates. Through public dialogue, we will explore curatorial practices rooted in community accountability, language, and sovereignty.

Katsitsanoron (Kat) Dumoulin-Bush is a two-spirit Onkwehonwe and French Canadian from Oshahrhè:’on (Chateauguay), Quebec. They received their BA in Linguistics from Concordia University in 2017. Kat has worked as an educator in indigenous communities across Quebec, teaching mathematics, science, music, special education, and kindergarten in Tasiujaq, Eastmain and Kahnawake. They have also worked in radio as a DJ and music journalist. Katsitsanoron considers themselves a “non-disciplinary” artist and curator, using experiential learning as a principal medium to make artworks and exhibitions that pose and respond to questions about sexual, racial, and interpersonal identity.

As an artist, they have completed residencies at Artexte (2023), The Banff Centre (2024), and Plug In ICA (2026). Their first curatorial internship was at daphne (2023), and the second the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2024-2026). Kat is currently working as part of a team of guest curators for the MAC’s reopening exhibition. They are also currently a board member of the IPACC (Indigenous People’s Arts and Cultures Collective) and MOMENTA biennial.
