Ociciwan Contemporary Art Collective presents Brittney Bear Hat & Richelle Bear Hat’s "Horse Camp"; a newly created, temporary public art installation to be concurrently exhibited in Edmonton, AB and Saskatoon, SK.
The project creates a narrative of urban Indigeneity spanning over the banners; on language, stories, and survival. "Horse Camp" is Brittney Bear Hat and Richelle Bear Hat’s latest collaborative work, where they recreate and explore a memory of building a fire with their father and youngest sister. The landscape where their family has been gathering and learning skills is the place where the Bear Hat’s education stems from and continues. Being out at camp in the bush offers opportunities to be open to the environment, learn traditions, and share stories.
The installation will appear in Edmonton’s River Valley in Emily Murphy Park (11904 Emily Murphy Park Rd) to mimic the bush of the Bear Hat sister's childhood.
