Wood Land School: Kahatènhston tsi na’tetiátere ne Iotohrkó: wa tánon Iotohrha
Drawing a Line from January to December

As part of a continuous conversation on Indigenous self-determination and collectivity, the SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art will temporarily be renamed and operate under the name Wood Lands School. Concordia graduate students Lindsay Nixon and Camille Usher have and will continue to work on this project. Organized as a single exhibition, named Wood Land School: Drawing a Line from January to December, unfolding and developing over time, the initiative hopes to explore “the power of line to mark history and invoke memory, proposing a line without beginning or end as a space to collaboratively imagine Indigenous futurity.”
