Of Surroundings features a selection of artists working within the current landscapes and traditional territory of Southern Alberta: Treaty 7 Territory of the Blackfoot, Stoney Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina, a meeting place and home for many Indigenous peoples.
These selected works focus on the ways in which we relate to place and the artists’ varying experiences within the region. Attention is given to observations of interiority, relationships to proximity, personal experiences, and awareness of surroundings. The works in the gallery are produced by artists Tyler Muzzin, Bryce Singer, Roy Caussy, seth cardinal dodginghorse and Hali Heavy Shield. The exhibition is complemented with a publication of poetry by Hali Heavy Shield.Co-curated by Kylie Fineday and Kristy Trinier.
