Where rivers meet, Ta’n a’sikatikl sipu’l | Confluence, encourages an ongoing dialogue about connection and exchange. It has been built on themes inspired by the work of selected First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists mainly from the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia’s Permanent Collection. This exhibition highlights seven guiding topics that collectively build caring relationships: Awareness, Reflection, Sustainability & Treaty, Community, Memory & Remembering, Gathering & Knowledge, and Sharing.
Ta’n a’sikatikl sipu’l | Confluence celebrates works by 25 Indigenous artists practicing here on Mi’kma’ki (Mi’kmaq Territory) and activates engagement between generations through the Mi’kma’ki Artists’ Spotlight. This exhibition also includes (Tea)chings, a space for artwork created through Indigenous-centred programing by community members of all ages.
We will meet at 2:15 for a 2:30 start at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (1723 Hollis Street, Halifax, NS B3J 1V9) for a 1.5 hour guided tour of the exhibit followed by snacks in the private conference room on site from 4:00-5:00pm. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!
