Maxi Hawkeye Canion (she/they) is a Brooklyn based Performance Artist. As a Black Trans/Queer artist, they distill their life experiences through movement focused installations, experimenting with text, format, sculpture, sound, and garment. With an emphasis on improvisation, she creates low-stakes, high-integrity containers that prioritize research, play, and spontaneity. Their works illustrate nuances of intimacy, failure, femininity, the grotesque, ephemerality, and domesticity within metaphysical dystopias.
