We are excited to announce an upcoming exhibition at the Libby Leshgold Gallery, Your Old Way Kind of Vision, curated by Daina Warren.
Opening Reception
May 31, 2024, 6pm-9pm
Exhibition Dates
June 1 – 30, 2024
Your Old Way Kind of Vision brings together the works of four artists – Siku Allooloo, Catherine Blackburn, Wally Dion, and Charlene Vickers – who explore their Indigenous backgrounds through distinct artistic practices. Using Allooloo’s poem as a jumping off point, the exhibition uplifts ways of seeing, living, and making that evoke a sense of possibility, return, and expansion in relation to contemporary Indigenous identities. Through a diversity of approach each artist builds nuance through materials and ideas that speak equally of traditional material cultures and contemporary vision. Far from a dichotomy of past and present, Your Old Way Kind of Vision expresses a deeply layered and sensory engagement, highlighting an expansive re-imagining of traditional concepts – and the practices that are shaping Indigenous contemporary art into the future.
