Portraits of Identity
Through striking self-portrait photography and layered collage imagery, Métis artist Rosalie Favell reclaims history and identity.

Favell’s photography has captured over 450 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists, preserving a vibrant visual archive of contemporary Indigenous creativity. Her mission: to show that Indigenous voices remain strong, resilient, and undeniable.
