Kapishkum Métis Gathering Panel Discussion

Date: Sat, Jun 28 @ 1:30 PM
Location: Max Bell Auditorium
This event is free and all are welcome.

Join our celebrated Kapishkum: Métis Gathering faculty for a conversation on contemporary Métis art in Canada.

Kapishkum, meaning “to transcend” in Michif, brings together a cohort of Métis artists to practice their personal crafts as well as collaborate and share with peers. The residency program celebrates creative forms, methods, and ways of being that are unique to the Métis, a culture still lesser known in the broader art world.

Speakers include Jason Baerg, an Indigenous activist, curator, educator, and interdisciplinary artist; Daphne Boyer, whose work combines natural materials and high resolution digital tools to create art that celebrates her Indigenous heritage; Liz Barron, a founding member of the Harbour Collective, which supports Indigenous filmmakers and visual artists; and David Garneau, a painter, curator, and critical art writer who engages with contemporary Indigenous ways of being.

Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
