Cody Houle

Cody James Houle (he/him) is an Anishinaabe (Saugeen First Nation) and French visual artist living in Brantford, Ontario.

His creative process focuses on telling his family’s story and the healing power of representing intergenerational kinscapes. His artistic practice is rooted in honouring his ancestral connections, the land and the importance of telling one’s story beyond colonial parameters.

Cody works to free his soul and to be an example for his daughter and all Indigenous youth of someone who is bravely transforming relationships—through his art—to identity, culture, and family who are no longer here and who did not get to make sense of or tell their own stories.
