About Skawennati Tricia Fragnito

Skawennati is an artist, writer and independent curator who is currently focused on creating projects for the World Wide Web, which, she believes, is an extraordinary art delivery system. Projects have included CyberPowWow, a virtual gallery and chat space; Imagining Indians in the 25th Century, a web-based paper doll/time-travel journal; and her current obsession, 80 Minutes, 80 Movies, 80s Music. In 1994, Skawennati co-founded Nation to Nation, a First Nations artist collective. As Curatorial Resident at the Walter Phillips Gallery at The Banff Centre for the Arts she mounted Blanket Statements, an exhibition of art quilts, and The People's Plastic Princess, a survey of more than thirty years of Barbie art. During her two-year stay in San Francisco, Skawennati produced Arts Alliance Laboratory's monthly CRIT (Critical Reviews of Interactive Technology) nights and co-curated "New Fangle" for GenArtSF. Her articles have appeared in Fuse, Horizon Zero, and Mix Magazine.

My artistic projects are responses to simple facts, misconstrued beliefs, ridiculous generalizations, gross misunderstandings and the associated legislation surrounding ideas such as "woman", "Indian", "half-breed", "progress", "success", "desire" and "sex".
