Yellowknife Forever!
June 21 – September 29 2024
Confederation Centre of the Arts, PEI
Curated by Sarah Swan
The North has a particular allure, often imagined in paradoxical extremes – cozy cabins in a frozen expanse, the danger of cold vs. awe at its beauty. Popular notions are often so terribly incomplete they might as well be false. The seven artists in this exhibition offer true(er) visions. Using local vernacular, photography, scrap plywood found at the dump, or moosehide sewn into gothic forms, each explores the anti-picturesque character of northern life. Featured artists include
Darrell Chocolate, Doomkitsch, Walt Humphries, Pat Kane, Alison McCreesh, Mike Mitchell, and Melaw Nakehk’o. Curated by Sarah Swan, supported by the Northwest Territories Arts Council.
We acknowledge and respect that we are in the Chief Drygeese territory. From time immemorial, it has been the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation.
