Lucas Corbin Cole

Born in Brandon, MB (Treaty 2) in 1993, Lucas Corbin Cole (they/them) is a Sturgeon Clan Anishinaabe-mixed settler, living in what is currently known as Winnipeg, MB (Treaty 1). Their family belongs to is Couchiching First Nation (Treaty 3) — which is where their late grandmother grew up prior to being sent to boarding school in Brandon at the age of 14. Lucas is a self-taught Two Spirit, Indigiqueer, and trans artist that holds harm reduction and sex positive values as central to their living and learning journey.

Their creative expression offers a unique vantage point on how they express their intersecting identities when (re)connecting to their culture. A fundamental teaching they hold themselves accountable to is how our Ancestors and land have dreamed of a queer future for us and it is our responsibility to keep carrying these dreams forward.
