Emma Martin is an Anishinaabe kwe from Kettle and Stoney Point First Nation. She is a recent photography graduate from OCADU in Toronto, Ontario. Emma Martin currently resides in London, Ontario. Her art practice is based on social and environmental injustices as Emma believes they coincide. By engaging in a decolonial process through intersectional environmentalism, her ethos is to bring awareness to the injustices found in today’s civilization. To expose situations where systemic racism occurs and to prompt opportunities for change. By changing the system of thought allows for the coexistence in balance with Mother the Earth. This enables a thriving society through environmental sustainability to better the next seven generations. Emma Martin has been in various exhibitions internationally and locally including London On., Toronto On., Bahamas, Berlin, Bratislava, and China. She also has publications including articles with Canadian Centre for Architecture, and published artwork with Mining Injustice Solidarity. As an Ojibwe person she believes in governing ourselves through the path of the Grandfather teachings in which; our role is to continue to make a difference until difference does not matter anymore.
