Meet Dr T'uy't'tanat-Cease Wyss
Dr T'uy't'tanat- Cease Wyss is an interdisciplinary artist who works with digital media, writing, performance and land based remediations as her multi-disciplinary arts practice. She is a community engaged and public artist, Indigi-Futurisms developer/artist, land based artist and ethnobotanist/permaculture designer.
She is currently working on bringing the healing sounds of plants and fungi, through biosonification with modular synthesizers. Wyss is working on bridging the languages of plants and mushroom as well as other forms of fungi, with indigenous languages and creating conversations between them all.
Her works range over 30+ years and have always focussed on sustainability, permaculture techniques, Coast Salish Cultural elements and have included themes of ethnobotany, indigenous language revival, Salish weaving and digital media technology.
In 2022 Cease was awarded an honorary PhD from ECUAD and in 2023 was awarded the MST [Musqueam/Skwxwu7mesh/Tseil watuth: aka Skwxwú7mesh,
xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ Lands & WatersSkwxwú7mesh Ux̱imix̱w'] AiR fieldhouse in Stanley Park for the next 4 years. She will be infusing all elements of her diverse practice into this time spent reconnecting to her ancestors whose spirits remain a part of this forest and shoreline.
