Ericka Walker received a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an MFA from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. She lives and works in Mi’kmaqi (Atlantic Canada) where she is an Associate Professor at NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Walker’s practice operates on vernacular histories of the graphic arts. Her print works and site-specific murals subvert the propagandistic function of nostalgia in contemporary culture, disputing the civilizing influence and assumed moral authority of nation building in North America. Walker exhibits widely throughout North America and internationally. Her prints are housed in multiple public and private collections and have been selected for numerous awards.
