MANY VOICES: INDIGENOUS ART
Mary Adams, Ahmoo Angeconeb, Tracey Anthony, Carl Beam, Melissa General, Greg A. Hill, Maria Hupfield, Geraldine King, Kent Monkman, Shelley Niro, Ryan Rice, Greg Staats
Co-curated with Tania Willard
14 June–7 October 2017
Bellevue House National Historic Site, Kingston, ON
Catalogue
Presented by Parks Canada as part of LandMarks2017/Repères2017
This exhibition is invested in the idea that narratives of confederation can shape increasingly inclusive histories that centre diverse voices and Indigenous land-bases. Our shared stories, at their heart, are about land, belonging, language(s) and culture(s) that stem from our interconnectedness with the earth. Many Voices: Indigenous Art weaves together a selection of artworks that place focus on our relationships to one another. Select works within this exhibition are on loan from the Collection of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, Indigenous Art Centre.
By considering the home that was once the lake-front retreat of canada's first prime minister, John A. Macdonald, and his wife Isabella, this exhibition opens up the possibility to engage with more expansive ideas of history, place and belonging. Many Voices: Indigenous Art calls attention to the land on which Bellevue House National Historic Site was built in the 1840s, the land that is and has been Indigenous land since time immemorial, the land that is Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe territory. Many Voices: Indigenous Art endeavours to provide an entryway to consider Bellevue House through a critical lens and bear witness to the stories being told through and by its featured artists.
