Métis/mixed-settler multidisciplinary artist Moe Clark is a 2Spirit singing thunderbird. She works across disciplines of vocal improvisation, spoken word, sound design, and performance creation, to create work that centres embodied knowledge, 2Spirit Indigenous resurgence, and creative kinship. Originally from Treaty 7, Moe has resided as a guest in Tio’tiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal for more than a decade. Moe has performed the world over, including the Sydney Opera House (AU), UBUD Writers & Readers Festival (ID) and Origins Festival in London (UK). Moe has seven albums of music, both solo and collaborative and multiple performance videos. Her last solo album Within toured across North America and her collaborative video poem “nitahkôtân” won best Indigenous language music video at the ImagiNative film festival. In 2013 she directed the 10th Annual Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, highlighting Indigenous Languages, and was named Poet of Honour at the same festival in 2014. As a composer, Moe’s music and voice have appeared in film, theatre and dance performances alike, including Imago Theatre’s The Flood (2024), Ce Silence qui Tue (Kim O’Bomsawin, 2018), and Winnie Ho’s aWokening (2022).
