Olivia Camfield

 
 

Olivia Camfield and Woodrow Hunt have been creative collaborators for the past two years. Separately, Olivia Camfield is a multimedia movement artist from the Mvskoke nation. Olivia's work focuses on the intricacies of mixed-Indigenous identities, promoting Indigenous futurism, and the continued education of all settlers on the systematic erasing of Indigenous People, languages, sacred sites, and ancestral life ways. Olivia is currently a member of Dancing Earth Creations. Woodrow Hunt is a Klamath, Modoc and Cherokee artist. His work focuses on experimental films which explore the functions and relationship between digital video and memory. His production company Tule Films works within the Indigenous community of Portland, Oregon specifically in education.

Their commissioned film by COUSIN If You Look Under There You’ll Find It explores the traditional and imagined tattooing art forms of the Muscogee Nation, Cherokee Nation and Klamath Tribes. Interviews from other tattooed Indigenous people, landscape footage from research trips, and fictional narrative scenes are used to explore abstract concepts on the experience of being tattooed and tattooing as Indigenous people.
