James Monkman is an award winning Cree visual artist and art director from treaty five territory residing in Toronto, Ontario with his wife and two boys. His work spans multiple different mediums from Film, TV, Experience Design, and Virtual Reality. Creating for these different mediums requires a unique ability to interplay between artistic vision and technical understanding to push the limitations of what’s possible. Monkman’s passion for creating comes out of the need to tell indigenous stories using cutting edge technologies to dispel stereotypes of indigenous people being a people of the past and showing that indigenous ways of knowing and cosmology are actually ideas for the future.
