My name is Roger Sosakete Perkins, I am a Mohawk, Bear Clan artist from Akwesasne, which is an American Indian territory that runs along the Saint Lawrence River and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. I strive at maintaining a spiritual composure as a husband, a visionary, eternal optimist, culture keeper and father of five children.
I view my art as an all encompassing journey of the integration of texture and color, humans and nature, spirit and the supernatural, earth and the cosmos, indigenous humor and activism. As a visual artist I have produced a vast collection of paintings and digital images that illustrate my beliefs in the positive aspects of tradition and the natural world and paint images usually deep-rooted in native inspired abstract design. With my motto “educate through art” I create with a specific message and teaching in mind: to inspire, awaken, honor and unite all.

In addition to the paintings, I am introducing an art movement I've started called “ Powowpopart “. Using my paintings, original images, photo's and borrowed/reclaimed images from the internet, other media sources, I digitally composite these images together in photoshop. These digital originals, I call Powowpopart, become thier own artistic statements both educational and entertaining. Pow Wow Pop Art is printed on canvas using archival pigments and hand stretched and embellished.

My offshoot from powowpopart is a brand, I call “It’s a Good Day to Disobey” which will illustrate the breaking away from and Resistance to Rules and Laws imposed onto Indigenous Peoples by Governments and Institutions. I currently have over 50 images that are ready to print and ready to inspire the dismantling of the structural racism (culturally, historically, economically, institutionally, politically and ideologically) and help rebuild a better world for Indigenous Peoples especially youth.
