AKA artist-run centre presents Brittney Bear Hat and Richelle Bear Hat’s "Horse Camp", curated by Ociciwan Contemporary Art Collective. "Horse Camp" is a newly created, temporary public art installation to be jointly exhibited in Saskatoon, SK and Edmonton, AB.
The project creates a narrative of urban Indigeneity spanning over the banners; on language, stories, and survival. "Horse Camp" is Brittney Bear Hat and Richelle Bear Hat’s latest collaborative work, where they recreate and explore a memory of building a fire with their father and youngest sister. The landscape where their family has been gathering and learning skills is the place where the Bear Hat’s education stems from and continues. Being out at camp in the bush offers opportunities to be open to the environment, learn traditions, and share stories.
"Horse Camp" will be presented in the Riversdale community near Downtown Saskatoon. The installation can be found along the North side of 20th St W between Avenue H South and Avenue E South.
