Nonamey (he/him) is a trans, Two-Spirit Indigenous artist and designer from the Anishinaabe Nation, enrolled at the Bad River Tribe. Based in Portland, Oregon, his multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, fashion, video, and installation. He is the co-founder of the artist collective Dosshaus (active 2011-2019). His work bridges sculpture, couture, and reclamation, crafting pieces that are equal parts resistance and ceremony. Nonamey’s practice is rooted in anti-colonial aesthetics, the survival of trans and Native bodies through beauty, memory, and storytelling.
His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with notable showcases including the Lucca Biennale, Native Fashion Week, CONTEXT Miami, CONTEXT New York, The Other Art Fair, and the LA Art Show. In May 2025, he debuted his first fashion collection, Threaded Lineage, at Native Fashion Week.
Nonamey’s practice is an invitation to reimagine what we carry, what we discard, and what we choose to reclaim.
