Campfire Artist Talk with Aurora Wolfe
Free, drop-in program
Sunday August 3, 7pm
Goodwin House at Saskatchewan Landing
Join artist Aurora Wolfe for a Campfire Artist Talk where she will share details of her research and practice, and answer questions.
Aurora Wolfe is a multimedia artist, researcher, and musician of Cree (Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation) and Scottish descent. Her work centers on the relationships between Indigeneity and institutions, teasing out stories that have been overshadowed by the dominant colonial narrative. She holds an interest in exploring dynamic relationality and creating art that generates acts of kinship with the past, present, and future.
Grounded within lived experience, her works dance between mediums, genres, and disciplines. Blending a tongue-in-cheek sensibility with historical reference, she unravels what it means to be displaced, and the simple yet complicated rituals of return. Alongside acts of truth-telling, aesthetics serve as both an entry point for viewers and a weapon against the fetishization of Indigenous pain. Through this lens, she firmly locates us in the here and now, and within our own complexities as living, feeling, and interactive beings.
This project is made possible through the SK Arts’ Artists in Communities grant and with support from Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park.
