ROBERTSON, Diane (1960-1993)

Diane Robertson was born in Pointe-Bleue and belonged to the Montagnais Aboriginal community. She attended Studio art (1983-1985) in addition to completing studies in art history at Concordia University. Comprising sculptures, installations, drawings and texts, all of her work demonstrates a degree of ambivalence, even a rift, between her Native roots and the Western culture of Quebec. In 2012, the Native Museum of Mashteuiatsh paid tribute to her work and her commitment to promoting contemporary Amerindian art.
