Mary Anne Barkhouse: opimihaw
Kwakiutl sculptor Mary Anne Barkhouse travelled from her home in Minden, ON to Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon, SK in the summer of 2019. While there, she walked the trails of the Opimihaw Valley with archeologist Dr. Ernie Walker, spoke with the park staff and allowed the deep history of the territory to inspire her. Her exhibition, opimihaw, touches on themes of restoration, resilience, reconciliation and the integrity--in both the physical and spiritual sense--of human and non-human life. Tapestry, sculpture, prints and installations come together to recount the story of Wanuskewin.
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 27 at 7 PM and the Sweet Medicine Singers will share their music starting at 7:30. Many of the artists will be in attendance, including Mary Anne Barkhouse and Alysha Farrell.
At 1 PM the following day, tune in for an in-depth conversation between Mary Anne Barkhouse and Lucie Lederhendler.
