Erica Lord is an interdisciplinary artist of Athabascian, Iñupiaq, Finnish, Swedish, English and Japanese heritage.[1] Working in the forms of performance, film, photography and installation, Lord's work addresses history, identity, home, and diaspora.[2]
Life

She received a B.A. in liberal and studio arts from Carleton College in 2001 and completed her MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2006.[3]

Erica Lord has exhibited her work in solo exhibitions at the DeVos Museum of Art ( Marquette, MI) and the Alaska Native Arts Foundation Gallery (Anchorage, AK), as well as in group exhibitions such as the Havana Biennial and the Museum of Contemporary Native American Art.[4]
