ABOUT ME
DIGITAL ARTIST
AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER BASED IN TORONTO
Quinn Hopkins (Mixed Ojibwe, non-status) is an interdisciplinary artist blending urban Indigenous experiences with digital futurism. Influenced by Indigenous futurists like Cannupa Hanska Luger, Santiago X and Skawennati, Hopkins’s immersive installations and digital artworks explore ancestral storytelling, technological innovation and cultural resurgence.
His work invites collaboration and imagines empowered Indigenous futures, fostering community engagement, reciprocity with the land and profound interconnections between traditional knowledge and visionary digital landscapes. Hopkins has exhibited across Turtle Island, including at venues including Evergreen Brick Works and the Thunder Bay Art Gallery among others.
