Niap (Nancy Saunders) is an award-winning multidisciplinary Artist whose work has been collected by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Quebec and Avataq Cultural Institute in Westmount, QC, among others.
Based in Montreal, QC, Niap divides her time between the city and her home community of Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, QC—a place that continues to deeply influence her work.
Her practice shifts between carving, textiles, paintings, photography, and more. Through each medium, she explores and investigates her identity as an Inuk woman.
Niap is an advocate for her community and culture. As a teenager she walked from Duncan, BC, to Ottawa, ON, to raise awareness for Indigenous youth suicide prevention. Also a throat singer, she has performed at several public events including a 2014 ceremony in Quebec that recognized throat singing as a form of intangible heritage under the Cultural Heritage Act. In 2019, her first solo exhibition Ivalu was held at Feheley Fine Arts in Toronto, ON, and focused on traditional tattooing practices.
Please join us at Haughville Branch to welcome Niap as part of the on-going Artist in Residence Series brought to Indianapolis Public Library by the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art.

Haughville Branch

About the branch
The longest continuously-operating branch in the IndyPL system began on the city’s east side in 1896 but moved to the village of Haughville after 1897. The branch’s many homes included the former town hall on Germania Avenue in which a fire in 1904 partially destroyed the building. After the fire, a storefront in the Michigan Plaza Shopping Center was constructed that operated until 2003, when the current 12,000-square-foot library opened on West Michigan Street.
