These artists are committed to preserving and advancing the practice of Mi’kmaq porcupine quillwork\, a tradition that is deeply rooted in their cultural heritage. Since 2019\, they have fostered an artistic community that operates on Mi’kmaq principles of mutual support\, respect\, and connection to both human and non-human beings. \nTheir art is a conversation with the creations of their ancestors—women whose roles as mothers\, aunties\, and caretakers are inseparable from their artistic expressions. The exhibition is more than a tribute to the evolution of quillwork; it celebrates the interwoven bonds of family and sisterhood\, the artistic legacies passed down through generations\, and the vibrant histories of Mi’kmaq quill art.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nCelebrate our Spring Exhibitions!\nSaturday\, May 10th\, 1:00 – 3:00 pm \nPlease join us on May 10th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm for a relaxed reception to celebrate MSVU Art Gallery’s spring exhibitions\, Epekwitk Quill Sisters: Etleoogoeiog (Talking Together/ Dialogie) and Together Apart/ Under One Roof.

Specializing in beadwork\, murals and digital illustration\, Emma’s art reflects her identity as a woman and Wolastoqwiw citizen of the Wabanaki Confederacy. Her work draws on the rich visual traditions of her nation\, with themes that explore water\, Wabanaki feminisms\, and the Wabanaki double-curve motif – a symbol representing relationships\, nationhood and community. These motifs form a cultural aesthetic foundation in Emma’s practice\, linking ancestral Wabanaki material culture with digital storytelling techniques. \nIn addition to her work as an artist\, Emma is the Curator of Indigenous Art at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton and teaches Indigenous Art History in the Wabanaki Visual Art Program at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University (2017) and a Master of Arts in Art History from Concordia University (2022).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbout the Artists\nKayla Sark is a Mi’kmaq woman from Lennox Island\, Epekwit. Kay was accepted as an apprentice to Mi’kmaq Quill Art in 2016 and learned the traditional harvesting practices and quilling techniques. She went on to share the art form with her children and then the broader community through workshops which she has been instructing for five years. She and her partner share in harvesting porcupine quills\, sweet grass and birch bark\, making her quill art a launching point for a shared cultural experience for her family. Once she learned the basic technique\, Kay quickly developed a unique style drawing upon personal inspiration rather than being influenced by more traditional designs. Kay enjoys the creative process and starts with inspired by different colour combinations. She begins each piece by quilling a foundational star\, then incorporates the colour combinations to bring balance to the work and provide the unique detail. Kay gravitates to the eight-pointed star and feels a connection to that particular design as it has become such a symbolic representation of the Mi’kmaq nation. \nCheryl Simon is a Mi’kmaq woman from Epekwitk (PEI)\, living in Halifax\, who works with porcupine quills\, birchbark\, spruce root\, and sweetgrass. She fell in love with Mi’kmaq quillwork as a child\, inspired by her mother’s collection of quill boxes. After returning to Mi’kma’ki in 2007\, she learned the insertion technique and launched her business\, Mi’kmaq Quill Art\, in 2011. Cheryl teaches quillwork workshops and has been dedicated to community education for over ten years. She took on her first apprentice in 2015 and opened a studio in Epekwitk in 2016 for three more apprentices. While focusing on traditional quillwork\, she developed a method to accurately depict petroglyphs after visiting sites in Nova Scotia\, blending traditional designs with petroglyph techniques in her pieces to enhance details. Recently inspired by contemporary Mi’kmaq art\, she started creating vibrant designs that expand beyond quill box lids. Cheryl teaches her children to quill and is eager to pass on the intricacies of traditional design\, valuing the strong connections that quillwork fosters as the community grows to include younger generations. \nMelissa Peter-Paul Melissa is a Mi’kmaw woman from Abegweit First Nation on Epekwitk (PEI). She grew up surrounded by cultural teachings and a family of basket makers\, expressing her art through regalia and beadwork from a young age. Her exposure to Mi’kmaq art led her to quillwork\, a traditional skill of her maternal grandfather’s ancestors. In 2015\, she began an apprenticeship with Mi’kmaq Quill Art\, focusing on traditional techniques and studying cultural resources from museums. Quillwork involves inserting dyed or natural porcupine quills into birchbark\, finished with quills\, sweetgrass\, or spruce root. Throughout her apprenticeship\, Melissa learned about harvesting materials and traditional design geometry. After completing her apprenticeship\, she helped establish a community of quillers to promote the artform and collaborate on projects. Melissa launched her career with her first solo exhibit at Receiver Coffee in Charlottetown in 2019. Heavily influenced by 20th-century Mi’kmaw quillwork\, she is supported by her family in harvesting and is dedicated to passing the art to her two sons and the wider community.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”21253\,21204\,21203\,21202\,21201″ image_grid_loading=”default” display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Campbell\, Still Tho is an ode to the visual artists in Canada who shaped hip hop culture and its visual aesthetics. In this group exhibition featuring artists from across Canada\, an array of mix-media works explores the growth\, influence and importance of graffiti art and its aesthetic legacies. \nThe phrase “Still Tho” in the exhibition’s title refers to a common expression in hip-hop culture that speaks to these artists’ perseverance\, their overcoming numerous barriers to make art and build community. Moreover\, the exhibition highlights the lasting impact of hip hop’s visual art on both Canadian culture and visual aesthetics in our digital age. \nFeature image: Still from “Moments of Movement\, Freestyle Dance Video Series #104 – Tafiya”\, Mark Valino\, 2022.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nAll are welcome to a celebratory reception for MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\, ‘Still Tho\,’ curated by Mark V.

Each artist reflected on this expression in their contribution to the design. \nKalkidan Assefa (Dripping Soul) chose to honour the pioneers of East Coast/Atlantic hip hop\, focusing on Black Nova Scotian communities. Areas like Uniacke Square—where some Africville residents were relocated—were among the first in the region to embrace hip hop’s underlying themes of social and economic disenfranchisement. Assefa highlighted the emcee\, one of hip hop’s four elements\, as the voice that connected these communities with others who shared similar experiences. \nMique Michelle pays homage to the women of hip hop who are often overlooked as contributors to the culture\, collaborators\, or solo artists. Too often\, they are seen as “assistants.” Inspired by Atlantic Canada’s heavy-hitting women emcees\, the globally trailblazing women of hip hop\, and their stories\, Mique Michelle created three characters who are a mashup of past\, present\, and future Femme presence. Mique Michelle adds\, “Let’s not forget to write ourselves into the future while respecting those who created the foundation.”  She invites viewers to take a closer at the mural to find a dozen local easter eggs scattered throughout. \nGhettosocks believes that the founders of hip hop (like DJ Kool Herc) intended to bring people together by celebrating life and culture through their music. This essence permeates the wall and will hold it down until the next iteration inevitably seizes its place. \n“Painting this mural with Mique and Kal has been a beautiful experience. Collaboration is one of the many incredible aspects of hip hop\, and I feel privileged to be included amongst such a pair of immense talent.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The Two-Eyed Seeing Program creates events and programs for Mi’kmaw youth that are rooted in the principles of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)\, which embraces reciprocal relationship building and learning from both Indigenous and Western scientific knowledges and perspectives. \nLife Cycle of a Boat is centered around a boat that was built\, painted\, blessed\, and launched by Mi’kmaq youth from Sipekne’katik (Indian Brook) and Wasoqopa’q (Acadia) communities\, in collaboration with mentors from Sipekne’katik\, Wasoqopa’q\, Millbrook\, and Pictou Landing communities\, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic\, Mount Saint Vincent University\, and elsewhere. The boat building and painting workshop featured artist Alan Sylliboy from Millbrook\, water-walker and grassroots grandmother Dorene Bernard from Sipekne’katik\, as well as others. Life Cycle of a Boat represents relationships that make the Two-Eyed Seeing Program possible in a tangible and literal way\, featuring activities that showcase Western and Indigenous sciences\, strengths\, and synergies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Two-Eyed Seeing Program\nEtuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing) is a guiding principle for co-learning and integrative science\, translated by Mi’kmaq Elders and academics – Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall from Unama’ki (Cape Breton) and Dr. Cheryl Bartlett. The guiding principles are based on reciprocal relationship building and seeing the world with the strengths of both Indigenous and Western scientific perspectives. With guidance from Elders\, Knowledge Keepers\, community partners\, and Western scientists\, the Two-Eyed Seeing Program aims to embrace these guiding principles to co-create a summer camp and various events for Mi’kmaw youth in Nova Scotia.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\nOpening Reception\nWednesday\, October 18 at 9:30-11:30am \nAll are invited to join Two-Eyed Seeing Program participants and organizers for the opening reception of the Life Cycle of a Boat exhibit.

The exhibition features seven Indigenous artists who create work in an Indigenous language from each of the major geographic regions of what is now known as Canada—Anishinaabemowin\, Komqwejwi’kasikl\, nēhiyawēwin\, Nitsiipowahsiin\, Tāłtān\, and Uummarmiutun. Taskoch pipon kona kah nipa muskoseya\, nepin pesim eti pimachihew aims to address and initiate discussion about how Indigenous languages intertwine with Indigenous epistemologies and how the dormancy and extinction of Indigenous languages leads to a hindrance of culture and knowledge. Bringing together emerging and established Indigenous artists\, the exhibition gives space back to those artists whose practices deal with Indigenous languages in each of their visibilities\, vulnerabilities\, and regional voices. \nOrganized and circulated by TRUCK Contemporary Art\, presented at MSVU Art Gallery in partnership with Eyelevel.\nSupport from the Canada Council for the Arts is gratefully acknowledged.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, May 28 \nOpening remarks will take place shortly after 1:00pm\, followed by a relaxed reception with refreshments.

With tender attentiveness to the land and its inhabitants\, MacDonald planted these gardens across the land known as Canada from 1995-2003. He also created a series of accompanying video works\, using his documentation of the gardens and their butterflies. One of the first gardens was located on the Mount Saint Vincent University campus as part of the 1997 exhibition Digital Garden. Since 2019\, MSVU Art Gallery has been in conversation with curator Lisa Myers and the Finding Flowers project\, seeking to renew the quiet\, contemplative nature of Mike’s work through revisiting and re-planting his original butterfly garden. Lisa Myers visited MSVU Art Gallery June 27-30 to begin the re-planting of the butterfly garden.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nGarden Location\nThe garden planted in 1997 was located along a section of a retaining wall that borders the parking lot on the north side of Seton Academic Centre.

MSVU Art Gallery is wanting to re-build the garden with the help of others who share those values and a love of plants. If you would like to donate a plant\, in the form of a small transplant from your garden\, germinated seeds\, or other form of plant sharing\, it would be most welcome. Each garden that Mike created was unique and this re-planting will include the same plants as the original. We have already secured donations for a number of plants but are still hoping to find a few more – if you would like to donate a plant from the list below\, please contact claire.dykhuis@msvu.ca (before June 30 if possible) and indicate which plant you would like to offer to the garden. Please visit MSVU Art Gallery’s Instagram account for images of these plants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”

Together\, their works politically and poetically express current Arctic concerns towards land\, language\, sovereignty and resurgence. Artists from throughout the circumpolar north share kinship with each other and their ancestors\, love for their homelands\, and respect for the land and its inhabitants. Yet they also share histories of colonialism and experience its ongoing legacies and are united in their desire to protect northern ecologies\, languages\, peoples and knowledge from the nefarious effects of climate change\, encroaching industry and competition. These resistance efforts do not merely express\, they give shape to a collective ecology of care\, a “decolonial love” (in the words of Leanne Simpson and others) that is both generous and generative. These works invite viewers to contemplate relationships between textual and embodied Indigenous knowledges\, innovation and sustainability\, humour and resilience\, and our collective responsibility to northern life and land. \nOrganized and circulated by the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery / Concordia University \nThis exhibition was cancelled due to MSVU Art Gallery’s closure in response to COVID-19\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”

Using landscape imagery\, botanical studies and the symbolism of institutional collection and preservation\, Allison contemplates what is lost and found through the consumption and commodification of land. In conjunction with the exhibition\, Allison will host public events and workshops as part of her summer residency at MSVU Art Gallery. \nCarrie Allison is an Indigenous mixed-ancestry visual artist born and raised on unceded and unsurrendered Coast Salish Territory (Vancouver)\, with roots in High Prairie\, Alberta. Situated in K’jipuktuk (Halifax) since 2010\, Allison’s practice responds to her maternal Cree and Métis ancestry\, thinking through intergenerational cultural loss and acts of reclaiming\, resilience\, kinship and visiting. Allison received her Master and Bachelor in Fine Art and Bachelor in Art History from NSCAD University.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/338904096″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nCatalogue\n[/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”18266″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/clearing-Catalogue.pdf”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nWorkshop\nJune 29\, July 20\, July 27 at 1:00-4:00pm \nArtist Carrie Allison will facilitate a series of workshops that experiment with the photosensitive drawing techniques used in her exhibition clearing.

SUMMARY:Skawennati: Teiakwanahstahsontéhrha’ | We Extend the Rafters

This machinima is an animation-style film produced on the virtual reality platform Second Life.  The Peacemaker Returns was designed specifically for children aged 5 to 11 but visitors of all ages are invited to explore traditions and imagine the world of tomorrow in this “museum of the future.” The bilingual title of the exhibition—in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) and in English—refers to the action of “extending the rafters” of a longhouse. These traditional Indigenous structures would be lengthened to make room for new generations or even other families. The artist chose this title to encompass the broader notion of acceptance and inclusion of differences\, in the spirit of Respect\, Unity and Peace. \nThis exhibition was produced by Vox: centre de l’image contemporaine in partnership with Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace and Obx Labs with financial support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec\, the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications and the City of Montreal under the Agreement on the Cultural Development of Montreal\, as well as the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th.

It presents more than 1800 pairs of moccasin tops (vamps) made by contributing artists. The moccasins are unfinished\, symbolizing over 1180 sisters\, mothers\, aunties\, daughters\, cousins\, grandmothers\, wives and partners whose lives were tragically cut short over the last thirty years. Many have vanished without a trace\, and their cases have often been inadequately investigated\, neglected or ignored. \nThe vamps are arranged on the floor in a winding formation and visitors remove their shoes to walk alongside them on a pathway of cloth\, to show solidarity and respect. Organized by local Elders and volunteers and guided by the Walking With Our Sisters National Collective\, this community-based project holds space for ceremony and healing. Those who are gone were cared for\, they were loved\, and they are not forgotten.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15665\,15666\,15667\,15668\,15669\,15670\,15671\,15672″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nInformation For Visitors\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Walking With Our Sisters is a memorial. The project is guided by local Elders and community members\, and informed by traditional protocols and acts of ceremony. As such\, footwear is to be removed before entering the ceremonial space. It is traditional for women to wear skirts in ceremony; skirts are available to borrow if desired. All visitors will be asked to carry a (provided) tobacco tie while walking through the memorial\, and deposit it in a box at the end of the visit. The tobacco from this box is burned daily\, sending visitors’ prayers to the Sisters. Additionally\, sage is frequently burnt within the space. This is known as smudging. While there will be extra ventilation in place\, some of the scent and smoke remain\, cleansing the space for the Sisters.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nAcknowledgements\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Grants from Arts Nova Scotia and the Halifax Regional Municipality are gratefully acknowledged.

SUMMARY:ANTHEM: Perspectives on Home and Native Land

These seven artists from diverse backgrounds (including African-Nova Scotian\, aboriginal and Inuit) consult their personal and communal selves to formulate the variations of “sovereignty” that they express as their “anthem.” The results counter stereotypes by presenting ideas that Canadian multiculturalism policies fail to encompass. The artistic media include digital photographs\, video\, painting\, textiles and installations. \nOrganized by Carleton University Art Gallery[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Indian Princesses & Cowgirls Stereotypes from the Frontier

The postcards\, calendars and photographs\, which are drawn from the private collections of the curators\, are grouped stylistically to emphasise concepts of race and femininity that prevailed in the early 1900s. \nThe racially whitewashed\, exoticized Indian maiden of commercial imagination quickly gave rise to her white outlaw counterpart\, the “cowgirl\, an inherently wild\, uncivilized creature who doesn’t fit into white notions of femininity.” These fantasies\, the co-curators argue\, demonstrate the need to disguise violent acts of appropriation\, which were often genocidal\, as gestures of appreciation. \nIndian Princesses & Cowgirls is organized by Oboro (Montreal) and circulated by Presentation House Gallery. \nLecture\nGail Guthrie Valaskakis\, a Northern Native Communications scholar at Concordia who grew up on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation\, Wisconsin\, spoke about the exhibition on Sunday\, September 24.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16728″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
