Giiwedinong (in the North) and Zhaawanong (in the South): Leaving and returning to our places of originThursday 6, February, 2025
6:30 – 7:30 pm
What can we learn from leaving – or returning to – our places of origin? What can we do to create a sense of place, home, and shared histories among us, especially if we are disconnected from the traditional lands and customs of our ancestors? How can we reimagine the idea of the “remote” north and the “urban” south in Ontario and explore what connects us regardless of the physical distance? This participatory discussion with Nyle “Miigizi” Johnston and Joel Richardson, and Virginia Eichhorn will offer opportunities for us to share our experiences with one another.
The exhibition, Gaganoonidiwag/They Talk To Each Other, extends beyond the artwork to include conversations between the artists and visitors and is the second of three participatory conversations. Visitors are welcome to join in the conversation, or simply listen and learn together.
