Tyson Houseman (kihewonâpês) is a nêhiyaw visual artist and filmmaker from Paul First Nation and Ermineskin Cree Nation. Tyson’s practice is rooted in nêhiyaw teachings and worldviews, expressed through film, installation, and performance works that are ephemeral, contemplative, and speak to the intrinsic connections between humans and their ecologies. He has exhibited at various galleries and museums, including ICA Boston, e-flux Screening Room, Musée d’art de Joliette, and The Shed (NYC), and has screened films at festivals such as BFI London, VIFF, RIDM, and imagineNATIVE. Most recently he presented the solo exhibition NDN Time at Dazibao Gallery in Montreal. He has participated in artist residencies at Art Omi, MacDowell, Forge Project, Wassaic Project, and the Banff Centre. Tyson is a recipient of the 2025 “Open Call” commission at The Shed in NYC, a 2025 Forge Project Fellow, a COUSIN Collective Fellow, and a 2025 MacDowell Fellow. Tyson has an MFA in Fine Arts from School of Visual Arts in NYC.
