Jaime lives and works on her home territory near the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. Founder of the REDress Project in 2009, Black-Morsette has been using their art practice as a way to gather community and create action and change around the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women and girls across Turtle Island for over a decade. Black-Morsette’s interdisciplinary practice includes immersive film and video, instillation art, photography, and performance art practices. Her work explores themes of memory, identity, place, and resistance.

This work centers on the potential for healing through the remembrance and reclamation of Matriarchal societal structures. Following the path of the Buffalo, where the breadroots grow, is to be lead to a time when Matriarchies of both humans and animals lived in good relation to each other and the land. Remembering this and learning from the Buffalo Matriarchy presents potential futures built on balance, care, respect, and reciprocity.
Organized as part of the Olivia and Greg Yuel Artist in Residence Program.
