Opening August 4th, 7pm - 9pm, artist talk at 7pm. 

In Morgan Possberg's Kiskisiwin, the artist constructs conceptual parallelisms between paskwâw mostos (buffalo) and the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. The parallels drawn between the buffalos and Indigenous bodies move beyond the disappearance of the buffalo from the prairies as a convolution of ongoing colonization and exploitation of the land by settlers, and ties to the spoor, sound and blood of the buffalo, strongly linked to memories of the land and Indigenous blood knowledge.
