Exhibition “Origin Stories”
First Nations Prints and Carvings
Guest curated by Jackson McDermott (Dene/Cree) with Gillian Booth and Katie Hughes.
As Canada celebrates 150 years since Confederation, the Legacy Art Galleries respectfully acknowledges a much longer history by presenting First Nations narratives that move beyond limited settler versions of history. Through prints and carvings chosen by guest curator, Jackson McDermott (Dene/Cree) from the Fort Nelson First Nation, the exhibition explores centuries-old stories that continue to live in the people, communities, nations and lands of this place.
