Aanikoobidoon means “to string things together.” In its second iteration, this exhibition brings together Métis and Anishinaabe artists to celebrate the relationship between our peoples and the plant world. For generations, we’ve relied on the plants around us for food, medicine, and inspiration. Through their art, these 14 artists weave stories of connection, healing, and tradition, featuring work from:
Caitlyn Bird
Belmo
Alicia Brink
Cher Chapman
Sheila Demerah
Nancy Gouliquer
Margaret Firlotte
Sara Gilbert
Katie Longboat
Mary Magiskan
Helen Pelletier
Leanna Marshall
Amber Sandy
Zoey Therriault
Jamie Thompson
We're pleased to present a special pop-up market as part of the art show and in support of the Anikoobijiganag Bead Symposium, featuring local artists, makers, and artisans. Expect to see beadwork, ribbon skirts, quill work, paintings and prints, and more. Support local!
This exhibition and craft market has been so gorgeously supported by the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre, Curling Canada, Goods & Co Market and has been a welcomed event coordinated in partnership with the Thunder Bay Art Gallery's Aanikoobijiganag Bead Symposium. Miigwech!
