Greg A. Hill Artist in Residence Talks
OBORO
As part of his residency at OBORO, artist Greg A. Hill invites the public to join him on two occasions:
- October 24 at 5:30 pm, for an artist’s talk on his practice and project, followed by a reception
- December 12 at 5:30 pm, to mark this end of his residency.
We are/the Land/is Us is an opportunity for Hill to develop his research and discoveries on the transformation of data – data converted into object(s), sound, light, installation to express and communicate the experiences of being in/with/on the Territory.
The New Media Residency Program for Indigenous Artist(s) is made possible thanks to the support of the Conseil des arts de Montréal.

Greg A. Hill is a full-time multidisciplinary artist. Born in Fort Erie, Ontario, he is a Kanyen’keháka member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. Hill’s practice is primarily in performance, installation and digital imaging and has explored aspects of colonialism, nationalism, and concepts of place and community through the lens of his Kanyen’keháka and settler French ancestry. Recent work delves into concepts of relationship to Land through personal experiences with the Land. He has been exhibiting his work since 1989, with solo exhibitions and performance works across Canada and group exhibitions in North America and Europe. He has also worked collaboratively in performance productions and exhibitions in Canada, the United States, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Hong Kong. In 2003, Hill was a recipient of the K.M. Hunter Foundation Visual Arts Award and an Indspire Foundation Arts award in 2018. His work can be found in public and private collections in Canada and abroad.
