Opening Celebration Snacks & Refreshments: Thursday, November 9, 5 – 7 pm

An exhibition as process, this project bridges gaps between historical cultural material housed in museums and contemporary art and includes physical and digital artwork by ULethbridge students as well as artists living in the UK and in India.

For the past few years, Blackfoot Elders, artists, scholars, and museum professionals living on Blackfoot Territory and in Britain have been working together, talking, and thinking about material culture, cultural capital, power, and estrangement. We’ve visited with historical cultural material in museum collections, survived the pandemic, jumped time zones, and calibrated calendars to make connections. Always guided by the Blackfoot principle that we have a responsibility to share and to care for knowledge, teaching and learning is at the core of our work. This is an exhibition as process and will include physical and digital artwork by uLethbridge students as well as artists living in the UK and partners in India.
