Vernissage for Jerry Evans: Mimajuaqne’kati | Place of Life
Join us to celebrate the new exhibition Jerry Evans: Mimajuaqne’kati | Place of Life
On view: 1 June – 15 September
Curator: Emily Critch
Mimajuaqne’kati | Place of Life is a solo exhibition presenting prints and video by Mi’kmaw and settler visual artist Jerry Evans. Incorporating elements of L’nu visual culture and archival photographs of ancestors, Evans’ work considers the inter-territorial relationships between the Beothuk and the Mi’kmaq in Ktaqmkuk. It also explores themes related to social amnesia, interruption, and the survivance of Indigenous life and histories in what is colonially known as Newfoundland and Labrador. The exhibition honours life cycles and relations in Ktaqmkuk, and more broadly within Mi’kma’ki, Wabanaki Territory, and beyond.
