Sharon Rose Kootenay (Vilna, AB): Manitohkewin // Sacred Power Made Visible
A series exploring the relationship between traditional spiritual beliefs and environmental concerns.
Conceived as a visual narrative and social commentary, Kootenay’s Manitohkewin series explores the artist’s relationship between cultural practices, spiritual beliefs and global concerns.
Through a testament of visual art, Manitohkewin brings an increased awareness of contemporary Indigenous fine craft, as well as a glimpse into the identity of the Indigenous Northern Plains.
