Eruoma Awashish is an Atikamekw Nehirowisiw artist from the community of Opitciwan, holding a degree in interdisciplinary arts, whose artistic practice focuses on the decolonization of the Sacred. Winner of the Contemporary Art Award from the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec (MNBAQ) in 2025, she has exhibited at international events such as the "Habitar el norte" exhibition at the Museo Cabanas in Guadalajara, Mexico, and at the Biennale Révélations in Paris. Her work aims to create spaces for dialogue to foster a better understanding of First Nations cultures. Through metaphorical symbols that combine spirituality and syncretism, she indigenizes elements of Catholicism within the Atikamekw context, reinforcing her spirituality and questioning historical norms. Through her practice, Awashish highlights the strength and resilience of First Nations in the face of colonization, while celebrating their rich cultural heritage.
