Inviting the public into dialogue with artists, theorists, researchers, critics, educators, and cultural workers, the Gallery’s events position exhibition making as a lens through which to examine today’s issues and debates. Recognizing the public’s sense for inquiry and experimentation, these workshops, lectures, screenings, tours and other interventions ask us to reflect critically upon the ways we look and the forces inflecting our experience. Welcoming and supporting different modes of public participation, the Gallery’s programming aims to make and hold space for new vectors of interpretation and inclusion.

Based in her ongoing experience of embodying and exemplifying the nexus of nēhiyawin itāpisinawin (a Cree worldview) and contemporary time/place, Indigenous interdisciplinary artist and singer/songwriter Cheryl L’Hirondelle presents a sonic and textual resonance in response to experiencing Raven Chacon’s exhibition Place Where the Waters Crossed. The response includes a performance of the score (For Cheryl L’Hirondelle), 2018, written for her by Chacon as part of the series For Zitkála-Šá, 2017-2020. She will be joined by Katsitsanoron Dumoulin-Bush interpreting another score from the series. A talkback/Q&A between Cheryl and Katsitsanoron will take place immediately following moderated by Prakash Krishnan.
