Raised on the Chehalis Reservation in the state of Washington, Selena Kearney uses photography as a tool to serve her community, and as a vehicle for artistic expression, a practice rooted in kinship, relationality, and representation from her experience as an indigenous person. She is the skipper for Spirit of the Raven, the elder-led canoe family from Suquamish. Selena Kearney is a graduate student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
