SUMMARY:Nature as Communities
DESCRIPTION:Diyan Achjadi\, PA System & Embassy of Imagination (Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson\, and youth collaborators: David Pudlat\, Moe Kelly\, Christine Adamie\, Nathan Adla\, Lachaolasie Akesuk)\, Ayoka Junaid\, Becoming Sensor (Ayelen Liberona and Natasha Myers\, with sound composer Allison Cameron)\, Sandra Semchuk\, Jay White and Jennifer Schine. \nFrom speculative fictions to art as storytelling; from indigenous-settler relationships to the “wider-than-human”; from land-based practices to the “Planthropocene”\, Nature as Communities considers how artists across Canada are reimagining our understanding of environment by listening and attending to place. Through situated knowledges and explorations of ancestry\, memory\, history\, and mythology\, these artists suggest how place-responsive works can encourage a re-thinking\, re-imaging\, and re-sounding of more sustainable and livable futures. \nDrawing from environmental justice theorist Giovanna di Chiro’s idea of nature as community\, the exhibition points to artistic investigations into notions of nature\, culture\, and place from within Canada’s multiple geographies. In these works\, Environment becomes environments: multiple and varied\, and culturally\, biotically\, geographically\, and epistemically situated. Knit together by the threads of a consciousness that recognizes the confluence of environment\, sustainability\, and social justice\, Nature as Communities helps us to see the connections between climate and cultural change. Incorporating sound\, video projections\, and other means to re-populate emptied landscapes while exploring political ecologies of place\, power\, and responsibility\, these works are an invitation to reflect on questions of accountability to both human and non-human generations of the future–as well as to those of the past and present. \nNature as Communities is curated by Jennifer Yakamovich\, Master of Environmental Studies candidate in the School for Resource and Environmental Studies at Dalhousie University\, in collaboration with Dalhousie Art Gallery staff. \n

SUMMARY:First You Dream: Celebrating 75 Years of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust
DESCRIPTION:Organized by MSVU Art Gallery in partnership with Cape Breton University Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. \nThe Nova Scotia Talent Trust was founded in 1944 and has been awarding scholarships to visual artists since 1949.

Na nekmewey Sovereign Act. \n-Wanda Nanibush\, Nujimaliapt~k \n  \nActes de souveraineté \nL’histoire de peuples autochtones performant devant des publics internationaux et coloniaux constitue une partie importante de l’art autochtone en général\, et de l’art de la performance en particulier. Les interprètes autochtones se trouvaient dans une position ambivalente : préserver leurs pratiques culturelles en les performant sur scène\, mais satisfaire\, ce faisant\, les désirs de l’imaginaire colonial. Dans Actes de souveraineté\, les artistes affrontent l’héritage laissé par les actions et représentations coloniales. Revenant sur l’histoire sédimentée de la mise en scène de de l’« Indien »\, leur travail récupère le performeur objectivé et effacé comme un ancêtre\, un artiste et un sujet autochtone. Ainsi\, ces artistes démontrent par ailleurs qu’il y a des traditions de performance autochtones qui alimentent l’art contemporain et qui forgent une histoire alternative de l’art. \nLes artistes dans Actes de souveraineté ne se définissent pas simplement à partir de l’intérieur/extérieur des histoires coloniales\, mais également de l’intérieur de traditions en perpétuel changement\, des traditions familiales\, de foyer\, de peuple ou de territoire. La performance est un acte de résistance culturelle et politique ; elle est un acte de remémoration et de commémoration. Elle offre des aperçus d’un passé oublié et emploie la fiction créative comme une force pour contrer les récits coloniaux de capture\, de sauvagerie\, de perte et de disparition. Un Acte véritablement souverain. \n-Wanda Nanibush\, commissaire \n  \nSovereign Acts \nThe history of Indigenous Peoples performing for international and colonial audiences is an important part of Indigenous art generally\, and performance art specifically. The Indigenous performers faced the conundrum of maintaining traditional cultural practices by performing them on stage while also having that performance fulfill the desires of a colonial imaginary. In Sovereign Acts\, the artists contend with the legacy of colonial actions and representations. Their work returns to the multi-levelled history of ‘Performing Indian’ to recuperate the erased and objectified performer as an ancestor\, an artist\, and an Indigenous subject. It also means there are Indigenous traditions of performance that feed contemporary art and form an alternative art history. \nThe artists in Sovereign Acts are not just defining themselves from in/outside colonial histories but also from within ever-changing traditions of family\, home\, people\, and territory. Performance is an act of cultural and political resistance as well as of remembrance and commemoration. It offers glimpses of a forgotten past and uses creative fiction as a force against colonial narratives of capture\, savagery\, loss and disappearance. A truly Sovereign Act. \n-Wanda Nanibush\, curator \n
