"Pulp Fiction as Rugaroom and Waashkeshikwe" is an original ledger artwork by Awanigiizhik Bruce (Mikinaak-Wajiw Anishinaabe, Nehiyaw, Michif) is a Two-Spirit diverse-media artist based on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Reservation.
 
Their artistic practice traverses traditional and ceremonial Nehiyaw-pwat forms, mixed media, and multimedia work. Their primary mediums include ledger art, parfleche, quillwork, beadworking, painting, jewelry-making, and computer-coded LED art. Awanigiizhik’s art focuses on the Anishinaabe philosophy of Seven Generations, a code of ethics respecting ecological consciousness and Indigenous heritage.
 
As an activist embodying this continuum central to their Tribal culture, Awanigiizhik brings practices from ancestral traditional revitalization to the exploration of Indigenous futurism. Awanigiizhik earned a BA in Ojibwe Language, Culture, and History at Turtle Mountain College. They spend much of the year completing site-specific and collaborative projects around the country, like murals in Duluth, MN and Belcourt, ND. Currently, they are developing a body of work synthesizing quillwork, birch-bark basketry, and robotics, and designing Ojibwemowin visual resources for Turtle Mountain College.
