Dr. WhiteFeather Hunter is an internationally recognized Canadian artist and researcher, and SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser University. She holds a PhD through SymbioticA International Centre of Excellence in Biological Art, The University of Western Australia, and an MFA in Fibres and Material Practices from Concordia University, Montreal. Her doctoral thesis, The Witch in the Lab Coat (short title) was a TechnoFeminist negotiation of science biocultures by using ‘taboo’ reproductive body fluids such as menstrual blood and stem cells in novel tissue engineering protocols; this included investigating magic and witchcraft as performed resistance to medicalized control over women’s bodies. This laboratory research and artistic creation stemmed from her master’s thesis project, Biomateria; Biotextile Craft, an innovative and award-winning body of work which utilized miniature handwoven human and horsehair scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. A recent project, Sentient Clit—The Pussification of Biotech was an exploration of 3D-bioprinted clitorises embedded with menstrual stem cells differentiated to neuronal types, to produce synthetic clitorises that might respond intelligently to stimuli. This project was awarded an Ars Electronica 2024 S+T+ARTS Prize jury nomination. Her most recent project, IMARA—Interstitial Machine for Aggregate Reparative Anatomies, is a hacked 3D bioprinter for producing interspecies organs. WhiteFeather has exhibited work across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, most recently (solo) at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (UK), Cultivamos Cultura (PT), Artengine (CA), SomoS Berlin (DE), Duende Art Museum (CH), and Southern Forest Arts (AU). She is hosted at numerous prestigious international biolabs, most recently the Gulbenkian Institute of Molecular Medicine, uLisboa (Graça Lab), the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (Alcarón Lab) and DZNE German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (Wegmann Lab). Dr. Hunter is regularly invited to present her work at high profile international festivals, conferences, and residencies; recent keynote addresses include for the Artistic Research Translation in the Sciences (ARTS) Society at the University of Calgary (CA), the Future Humanities Institute at University College Cork (IE), and a forthcoming plenary keynote at the Atlantic Anthropological Workshop (University College Cork/ Queens University Belfast/ Dublin City University/ Sacred Heart University) in Dingle (IE). Her academic writing and artworks are published in peer-reviewed journals and books globally, with a forthcoming book in Palgrave’s BioArt Series.
