What We Bring With Us

By: Bill Reid Gallery

Seven emerging Indigenous artists are exploring the questions:

What does it mean to be a guest in this territory in relation to Indigeneity?

How do we as Indigenous artists relate to the land we occupy while also acknowledging our presence as visitors?
