While artists such as Judy Chartrand, Maxwell Bates and Anna Banana offer sharp commentary on mainstream culture and identity politics, others, such as Shuvinai Ashoona, Victor Cicansky, and Maud Lewis delight in the rhythms of lives spent close to nature and their communities.
Featuring works by 20 artists drawn primarily from private collections, the exhibition disregards the usual separations that persist along regional lines and traditional versus experimental approaches.
Instead, ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด๐ญ๐บ? reveals connections between the folksy Victoria school, Vancouverโs edgy Western Front scene, Halifax conceptualism, Regina funk and First Nations artists' embrace of manga and comics.
The discussion will feature artists Sonny Assu, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, and more.
