Artist talk and opening reception will be held at Wanuskewin January 15, 4pm-7pm, with a talk by Rosalie Favell.

Wrapped in Culture is a collaborative project that brings together ten Indigenous artists from Australia and Canada, led by Métis artist Rosalie Favell. They created contemporary versions of an Australian Aboriginal possum-skin cloak and a Blackfoot buffalo robe: two culturally distinct, yet similar, artistic traditions that historically held both sacred and practical purpose. The robe and cloak are also objects that hold a deeper meaning: the imagery on the contemporary robe and cloak is a narrative of ten artists from different generations and nations coming together.
