James Brady, "Malcolm Norris hanging nets," ca. 1934 (Glenbow Museum Collection, PA-2218-94)

Reception: October 21, 2022 at 7PM

James Brady's life (1908-1968) is intrinsically linked to the history and politics of Métis communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Known primarily as a political activist, along with his life-long comrade Malcolm Norris, there was another side to Brady that is less known – his penchant for taking photographs. This touring exhibition is the first exhibition of these images, now in the Glenbow collections. (PS)

A documentary film directed by Marcel Petit – Jim Brady: In the Footsteps of the Métis Leader supplements the exhibition along with 22 photographs by Everett Baker from the archive of the Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society.

curated by Paul Seesequasis and Marcel Petit
