An opening event will take place on Thursday the 11th of January from 3:30-5pm at the Gallery. Faculty, staff and students are all invited to attend.

Accompanying this exhibit, Nadine St-Louis, indigenous entrepreneur of mi’kmaq and acadian heritage, will give a presentation on January the 26th, from 1:30-3pm in room YH A300. Nadine St-Louis is the founder and Executive Director of Sacred Fire Productions, which promotes indigenous art and artists through the productions of cultural projects and events that raise public awareness, break stereotypes and foster cross-cultural dialogue for the inclusion and advancement of Indigenous artists in urban centers.

This presentation will be followed by a closing event at the Gallery from 4-6pm.

These events are part of the project “Indigenous Art as a Sign of Resilience and as Means for Reconciliation”, which is made possible by funding received from the Office of the Provost through the Indigeneity in Teaching & Learning Fund.
