Tyler Eash is a post-disciplinadry artist and Maidu 2Spirit of the Maidu Tribe of California. Their work engages all artistic actions to build new sovereign territories that unearth indigeneity from the colonised world.

Tyler Eash is an Indigenous Californian Maidu 2 Spirit working in the subject of reindigenization. They work in a post-disciplinary fashion, using performance, sculpture, drawing, painting, film, music and poetry as means of uncovering an identity buried by history. In their practice; sincere confessions and desires for liberation under capitalism/colonialism are manifested into a series of visual artifacts, texts, and happenings. Built in response to the removal of one’s own history, ancestral culture, and sense of self, Eash’s work engages the medium of identity to express our inherent imaginations as the last frontier of true sovereignty after colonialism. Whether material or immaterial, Eash’s work employs the body as a working document, an avatar to represent the desires of a post-capitalist, post-colonial, post-gender self, an interface between a queer rural artist of the Indigenous “American” and Irish diasporas and the Anglo-colonial realms of high culture.
