"The Land Remembers"
This exhibition explores the profound and sacred relationship between Indigenous communities and the land, emphasizing the ongoing work of rematriation and the Land Back movement. It celebrates how the land holds memory—both of our ancestors and of ourselves—and how these stories are alive within the landscape.
The artists featured in this exhibit will be using a diverse array of materials and mediums, including bones, cedar, beadwork, paintings, ceramics, and poetry, to share their personal and collective stories. These stories from the past and present serve as a powerful reminder of our enduring connection to the land. Through their work, the artists aim to evoke a sense of remembrance and reverence, encouraging visitors to reflect on their own relationship to the land and their place within this ongoing work of caring for the land.
We hope that everyone who experiences this exhibition leaves with a deeper awareness of indigenous peoples' connection to the land and the importance of honoring and restoring our relationship with it.
