Catherine Tammaro is a Toronto-based artist whose work engages themes of memory, Ancestral continuity, land, language, and Indigenous presence across the Great Lakes region. Her research and artistic practice explore documented connections between the Tammaro family and the historic Anderdon Reserve and Wyandot/Wendat communities in both
Canada and the United States.

Drawing from archival research, oral histories, community relationships/membership
and genealogical affirmation, Tammaro’s work reflects an ongoing engagement with Wyandot/Wendat cultural histories and intergenerational knowledge.

Her multidisciplinary practice bridges contemporary art, historical recovery and cultural remembrance, often centering overlooked and suppressed narratives of Indigenous endurance, kinship, Motherwork and identity within these communities.

She is also exploring her multifaceted genetic information in reference to the
‘Ancestral Present’* and has brought her spiritual and creative energies back into
the Homeland to help revitalise the Wyandot(t) presence in Ontario. She actively supports the work and development of other artists on an ongoing basis and continues teaching, learning
and exploring her own creativity and that of others.
