Kapishkum Métis Gathering Panel Discussion
Join our celebrated Kapishkum: Métis Gathering faculty for a conversation on contemporary Métis art in Canada.
Kapishkum, meaning "to transcend" in Michif, brings together a cohort of Métis artists to engage in creative production and advance their personal practices alongside peers and faculty mentors. This program aims to celebrate and bolster Métis-specific art, creative forms, and unique ways of being, knowing and doing in a collaborative and critical environment.
Speakers include Jason Baerg, an Indigenous activist, curator, educator, and interdisciplinary artist; Daphne Boyer, whose work combines natural materials and high resolution digital tools to create art that celebrates her Indigenous heritage; Liz Barron, a founding member of the Harbour Collective, which supports Indigenous filmmakers and visual artists; and David Garneau, a painter, curator, and critical art writer who engages with contemporary Indigenous ways of being.
Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
