On Saturday, October 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, we will offer a special exhibition tour of An Accidental Forever at the Art Gallery of Regina, led by Kristin Snowbird and her husband and artistic collaborator, Theo Pelmus.
Following the exhibition tour, Kristin and Theo will present a workshop where participants imprint images with cultural significance for Kristin and Saulteaux words she has chosen onto T-shirts. Language offers unique insights into worldviews and beliefs; clothing serves as a means of signaling our identities, beliefs, and allegiances to the world. Participants will learn about the cultural significance of these words while gaining hands-on experience in the art of block printing.
Both events are Indigenous-led and offer unique insights into the artists’ work. The tour encourages discussion about the concepts presented in the exhibition, including language, family, community, land, and pre-Christian traditions. The group discussion in response to artworks encourages cultural exchange, mutual learning, and creative expression in a supportive and inspiring setting.
Presented by Casino Regina, Indigenous Perspectives: Bridging Traditions and Contemporary Art program builds on AGR’s work to unite communities and celebrate our collective contributions to culture. Art galleries are also important places for difficult conversations, including those about colonization and racism. They support healing through dialogue and understanding.
Light snacks and T-shirt printing materials provided. Register for this free event below.
