Events Description

 

The Art Museum at the University of Toronto presents the powerful new exhibition Earthwork curated by Mikinaak Migwans from Sept. 4–Dec. 20, 2025, at University of Toronto Art Centre (University College). Earthwork redefines a term that until now has referred to a type of artistic practice associated within the larger conceptual framework of land art. In this exhibition, Migwans shifts our understanding of earthwork to refer to a way of working, rather than the making of singular objects, reclaiming the art historical framing from an Indigenous perspective. Featured artists are: Michael Belmore, BUSH Gallery (Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill, Peter Morin, Tania Willard), Faye HeavyShield, Art Hunter, Alex Jacobs-Blum, Mike MacDonald, Lisa Myers, Edward Poitras, and Protect the Tract Collective. Earthwork considers multiple layers of engagement with the land, including a history of land defense movements, medicine walks, and ancestral practices of prescribed burns, alongside contemporary artworks as creative acts of relational intervention.

The Art Museum is open to the public. Admission is always free.
