Samantha Walters is an emerging interdisciplinary performer, writer, and arts administrator based in Vancouver on xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) lands.

Her work has been featured by companies such as Rumble Theatre, UNIT/PITT Society for Art and Critical Awareness, Vines Art Festival, the Evergreen Cultural Centre, What Lab, and IGNITE! Youth-Driven Arts Festival.
Samantha also has experience working in community engagement, communications, event production, podcasting, and graphic design.
