IZABEL DELLA SIEPE



Izabel Della Siepe is a Canadian, Italian and Salvadoran artist living in Toronto, Canada.

Her personal work tends towards themes of family – and what constitutes home – as well as the very nature of what bridges people together.

She explores these concepts through past and ongoing projects: documenting the bond that exists between brother and sister throughout the pandemic in Toronto, the resilience of communities within Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en territories, and the discovery of family that chose not to leave home during the Salvadoran Civil War of the 80s.

She is also curator, site designer, and communications lead at Fotohane Darkroom.  View CV.

   People of the Hiding Place





These photographs were taken on Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en territories, in northern British Columbia.

Anspayaxw is the Gitxsan name of one of these communities, which translates to people of the hiding place.

While each village has its own name and story, this first meaning has stayed with me. It seems an apt description for the people I came to know, living on remote reserves hidden from the collective consciousness of much of Canada.
