What I Forgot is Better than Whatever They Remember

What I Forgot is Better Than Whatever They Remember, a solo exhibition from Toronto-based artist Natalie King is a visual and physical return, a constellation of memory, language, and spirit across time. This series of seven star-shaped paintings forms a sky map: seven visual portals for seven generations, grounded in the good life and the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

Peter Fancy: View from the Studio

This exhibit celebrates the artistic legacy of historian, writer and artist, Peter Fancy. It highlights his love of the landscapes in which he lived and worked, including the shores of Temiskaming. This exhibition was made possible through the support and efforts of Peter’s family.

SYZYGY

Wanting to think of a world aligned and without inequalities, this project takes as reference a celestial and philosophical word to create emphasis on our need for a world with rights and equality. It is ironic to think that, almost reaching the first quarter of the 21st century, we still have to fight to make the world understand that equal rights are imperative. Women as the giving, creating and managing center of our world are still relegated to conditions of professional and social inequality.

People of the Watershed

Touring from McMichael Art Collection. The exhibition features photos taken by John Macfie (1925–2018), a settler trapline manager who worked in Northern Ontario in the 1950s and 1960s, and was curated by nîpisîhkopâwiyiniw (Willow Cree) curator, writer, journalist, cultural advocate, and commentator Paul Seesequasis.
