Inheritance
This exhibition forefronts historical facts that are often hidden or untold because they reveal that our shared past includes, and is based on, acts and systems of brutality, racism and oppression. Told by artists through research into the lives of family members and familial connections, the works in Inheritance demonstrate that history continues to reverberate through time, impacting the present and future. The artists in this exhibition share the history of the KKK in Alberta, the internment of Canadians of Japanese descent across western Canada and grapple with the atrocities committed in the Indian Residential School system for many decades. Their works seek to uncover these histories, to hold true to the past as the only way to move forward.
Participating Artists:
