Fallon Simard

Fallon is an artist, educator and policy writer from Couchiching First Nation in Grand Council Treaty #3 Territory. His professional appointments enable research into social policy fields such as gender identity, mental-health, child-welfare, and mortality. His experience in these fields propels him to create art work that directly investigates policy and theory in these areas through video, illustration, and memes. Thirza Cuthand in a review in Canadian Art described Fallon's work “as firmly situated within a strong history in Canada of experimental Indigenous video art. Their experimental, politically charged work gets to the heart of issues of Indigenous sovereignty and struggle.” Fallon graduated from OCAD University through the interdisciplinary Masters of Art, Media and Design program. He has exhibited at the Art Gallery of Peterborough, curated for the Queer Art Festival in Toronto, written policy for the Yellowhead Institute at Ryerson University and participated in Plug In ICA’s Summer Institute.
