Léa Denieul-Pinsky

Based in Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) territory in and around Montreal, Léa's fieldwork explores ways to leverage mapping to expand negotiation opportunities and enter in dialogue with various stakeholders in potentially conflictual situations. As a cartographer specializing in mapping governmental and ecclesiastical archives, she repurposes state-sanctioned historical materials, producing maps to augment how Indigenous-led campaigns reach their target audiences.
