About the event

Curator Talk with Paul Seesequaisis - People of the Watershed: Photographs by John Macfie
Presenter: Paul Seesequasis

Connect via Zoom for a SPECIAL CURATOR TALK by Paul Seesequasis and learn more about our current exhibition PEOPLE OF THE WATERSHED! November 19th @ 2:00pm.

PEOPLE OF THE WATERSHED: PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN MACFIE includes more than 100 photographs taken by John Macfie (1925–2018), a settler trapline manager who worked in Northern Ontario in the 1950s and 1960s. Macfie travelled with a camera, recording life in Anishinaabe, Cree, and Anisininew communities during a period of intense and rapid change. The people and places of Pikangikum, Sandy Lake, Lac Seul, and other communities across the Hudson’s Bay watershed are revealed through his lens in ways that emphasize the warmth and continuity of community life. Curated by Paul Seesequasis, the exhibition centers the lives and resiliency of the Indigenous people represented, many of whom have been identified by Macfie and Seesequasis.

Paul Seesequasis is a nîpisîhkopâwiyiniw (Willow Cree) curator, writer, journalist, cultural advocate and commentator in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He has been active in the Indigenous arts as an artist and a policy-maker since the 1990s, and since 2015 he has curated the Indigenous Archival Photo Project, an online and physical exhibition of archival Indigenous photographs that explores history, identity, and the process of visual reclamation. He is the author of Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun: Portraits of Everyday Life in Eight Indigenous Communities (2019).
