Natt Cann

Dates: Oct. 30th - Dec. 18th

Natt Cann (he/him) is a settler-Canadian visual artist whose projects of print hone upon the haunting of lands – ideologies and industries keeping afloat Canadian notions of colonial heritage and their subsequent degradations. Natt’s aim is to share Atlantic centric discussions of commorancy, climate, and past snuffed economic aspirations amidst the celebration of current peoples, politics, and newfound practices onto new audiences. His latest series of work, Forlorn, further explores these notions through lens based printed matter, material choice, installation practices, community involvement, and advancements in tech impacting the tangibility of physical spaces. Such ideas are continued onto the expansive series Knock Knock! and his collaborative project Recollect featuring artists, activists, writers, and historians from across New Brunswick.

Natt has ventured across Canada through numerous residencies and exhibitions, and his recent print projects have been intertwined with a variety of publications, expositions, and research grants. He was recently interviewed by CBC’s Hope Edmund for his work Knock Knock! – I will never own a home, a conversation into toxicity of Canadian housing markets. Natt has been consistently supported by both ArtsNB’s funding programs and the Canada Council for the Arts, and has provided grant assistance to countless organizations, charities, and peers in obtaining their own funding. Nat received his BFA from Mount Allison University (2012) and now resides in Moncton, New Brunswick, an Acadian colonial city which sits on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq Peoples.
