Events Description
Mawadishiwewin (visits) is a year-long two-part collection of solo exhibitions that delve into the connections we form through visiting, creating, and sharing. The first exhibition, ᐳᓛᖃᑎᒌᑦ (Pulaaqatigiit), features artwork by Taqralik Partridge, contemplating a space to honour and visit with loved ones that have moved beyond the physical realm.
The curatorial premise for Mawadishiwewin (visits) finds its origins amidst the challenges for various forms of communities to gather and the ability to locate a significant sense of community amidst a global pandemic. This exhibition works at collapsing distances between places (physical and virtual) by drawing on relationships strengthened when much of the world was isolated during a global pandemic and building on ideas of visiting, cultural continuity, community building and networking in Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Commonalities of respect, work, art, and the accumulation of so many stories, skill-sharing and travel will enrich the rapport presented in the exhibition.
The Mawadishiwewin (visits) exhibition series is generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario through the Curatorial Projects: Indigenous and Culturally Diverse program.
