Join us at SAW for the official after-party of Qillaniq, following its opening reception at the National Gallery of Canada. Meet the exhibition’s artists and curators in an informal setting, with conversations continuing late into the night in the SAW outdoor courtyard and on the dance floor at Club SAW, with music by Kahnawá:ke's DJ Pøptrt.
Qillaniq (June 12–September 20, 2026) at the National Gallery of Canada brings together contemporary Indigenous artists from the circumpolar world whose work engages themes of presence, resilience and cultural continuity. Through performance, installation and media-based practices, the exhibition explores how bodies, voices and gestures carry knowledge across generations and geographies.
DJ Pøptrt is a multidisciplinary artist from the Mohawk Nation of Kahnawá:ke. Her sound blends her Kanien’kehá:ka heritage with contemporary electronic music, shaped by rhythm-driven, layered sets. Since emerging in Montréal’s art and media scene in 2015, she is known for dynamic DJ sets spanning house, tech house, disco and beyond.
On view at SAW, Requiems: Jim Logan (May 1 to August 15, 2026) will remain open late during the after-party.

SAW is supported by:
Canada Council for the Arts, City of Ottawa, Ontario Arts Council, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Government of Ontario, Government of Canada, Ottawa Community Foundation, Ottawa Tourism and Ottawa 200.

Joignez-vous à nous à SAW pour l’après-fête officielle de Qillaniq, à la suite de son vernissage au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada. Rencontrez les artistes et les commissaires de l’exposition dans un cadre informel, et prolongez les échanges tard dans la nuit, dans la cour extérieure de SAW et sur la piste de danse du Club SAW, avec la musique de DJ Pøptrt, de Kahnawá:ke.
L’exposition Qillaniq (du 12 juin au 20 septembre 2026) au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada réunit des artistes autochtones contemporains du monde circumpolaire dont les œuvres abordent les thèmes de présence, de résilience et de continuité culturelle. À travers la performance, l’installation et des pratiques médiatiques, l’exposition explore comment les corps, les voix et les gestes portent des savoirs à travers les générations et les territoires.
DJ Pøptrt est une artiste multidisciplinaire de la Nation mohawk de Kahnawá:ke. Son univers sonore mêle son héritage kanien’kehá:ka à des musiques électroniques contemporaines, porté par des rythmes soutenus et des textures superposées. Depuis ses débuts sur la scène artistique et médiatique montréalaise en 2015, elle est reconnue pour ses sets de DJ dynamiques qui passent de la house à la tech house, au disco et au-delà.
Présentée à SAW, l’exposition Requiems : Jim Logan (du 1er mai au 15 août 2026) restera ouverte tard pendant l'après-fête.

SAW bénéficie du soutien de :
Conseil des arts du Canada, Ville d’Ottawa, Conseil des arts de l’Ontario, Fondation Trillium de l’Ontario, gouvernement de l’Ontario, gouvernement du Canada, Fondation communautaire d’Ottawa, Tourisme Ottawa et Ottawa 200.
