Opening Reception (First Fridays): August 2nd from 5 – 8pm
Featuring the works of 20+ Indigenous artists, this exhibition reminds us that reconciliation is an ongoing process, a chain of care and repair, not a one and-done event. Decolonizing our relationships with one another and drawing new pathways of understanding based on mutual respect is empowering for all of us.
ReconciliACTIONS invites viewers to contemplate how they can show up with care both individually and collectively in actively carrying reconciliation forward.
All persons have the agency to create ripples of change, and the Indigenous artists who are included in this exhibition are contributing to this change by educating the public and sharing their knowledge and experiences through visual forms.
Artists: Madeline Belanger, Kalum Teke Dan, Delree Dumont, Michael Fatt, Em Forbes, Flora Johnson, Saila Kilabuk, Donna Langhorne, Christiana Latham, Aloysius Manybears, Shelley May, Tracey Metallic, Audra/Keevin Simeon-Rider, Tamara Shepherd, Gordon Wesley, Ryan Jason, Allen Willert, Lana Whiskeyjack, Autumn Whiteway, and three youth artists from Stardale Women’s Group – Kory, Jaylena, and Mazzy.
