Emma Hassencahl-Perley

Lead Creator
Written By Troy McNamara

Emma Hassencahl-Perley is Wolastoqwiw from Neqotkuk (where the two rivers flow beneath each other), also known as Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Mount Allison University (‘17) and a Masters of Art in Art History (‘22) from Concordia University. Emma is a Visual Artist, Curator, Educator, Author, and Arts Criticism Essayist.

Her visual art mediums include beadwork, murals, and digital illustration. Her work explores the term “Legislative Identity” (how the Indian Act impacts the identities of Indigenous peoples in Canada). Through material and visual culture, Emma also considers her identity in her work as an ehpit (woman) and citizen of the Wabanaki (People of the Dawn) Confederacy. Her visual art practice takes inspiration from Wabanaki double-curve beadwork and iconography, typically found on 19th-century textiles and objects.

These mirrored, curvilinear forms speak about relationships, community life, and being in balance with the universe.

A good idea with passionate individuals behind it is what gets me going!

With training and work experience in Marketing, Event Management and Architecture along with being an International Sailing Coach for the past ten years I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside many inspiring individuals and groups.

With this experience I came to realise my passion and strengths are within creating and building relationships as well as realizing an idea or team's potential and helping them present that potential to prospective clients both visually and verbally.

I am always looking for a challenge and for the opportunity to help an individual or team bring an idea/dream to fruition!
