Luc Biscan-LUC BISCAN-WHITE (Siksikáí'tsitapi / Blackfoot, Irish-European, Appalachian) is a mutlidisipinary artist, plant ecologist, and researcher currently based on the stolen and occupied Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, and Pueblo Territory colonially referred to as “Albuquerque, New Mexico.”

BISCAN-WHITE was raised on the stolen and occupied lands of the Tutelo, Moneton, Eastern Band of Cherokee, and Yuchi lands colonially referred to as “Southwest Virginia and Southern West Virginia, Central Appalachia.”

Their practice is expressed through installation, sculpture, performance, writing, and analog photography collaboratively made with their material collaborators Metal, Clay, SCOBY, Fungi, and Wood. Their practice explores the material reality, context, and socio-politics of material kin. Pairing the specific symbols and language from Central Appalachia with abstract Metal, Clay, Fungi, and SCOBY sculptures, their work asks questions about the interlocking dynamics of language, class, and place. Their work and research collapse simply binaries in favor of engaging with the messy ecologies that emerge when our material kin, ancestors, and physical selves meet beyond and in defiance of colonial imaginations.
