National Indigenous Peoples Day at A Path Forward

June 21st: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Join us at A Path Forward for a special National Indigenous Peoples Day event featuring Melissa Brant, multidisciplinary artist and proud member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (@shes_high_on_vibes)

Melissa will be onsite to share the inspiration, teachings, and creative process behind A Moment of Reflection - the powerful walkway mural that welcomes visitors into the A Path Forward exhibit experience.

As the first artwork encountered in the exhibit, the mural is a visual representation of the Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen, a Rotinonhsyón:ni/Haudenosaunee practice often translated as “the words that come before all else.” Through intentional colour, symbolism, and movement through space, Melissa’s work invites visitors to pause, reflect, and prepare themselves before entering the exhibit.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the artist, learn about the teachings that inspired her work, and experience the pathway in a deeper and more meaningful way.
Refreshments will be provided, featuring beverages from Mohawk Soda and Kebonish.

Following the artist talk, visitors are invited to spend time exploring the gallery space, including the main A Path Forward exhibit as well as the special student response exhibit featuring artwork created by local Grade 9 students inspired by the exhibit and its themes.

All are welcome!
