To Move Across the Land

The elevator at the Stewart Hall Cultural Centre will be temporarily out of service due to modernization work from March 2 to May 1, 2026. The ground floor will remain accessible to people with reduced mobility via the entrance located on the east side.

To Move Across the Land brings together a constellation of Indigenous voices across Turtle Island, Mesoamerica, South America, Oceania, Northern Europe and Africa. Working in various mediums – performance, painting, ceramics, film, photography, sculpture, textiles, and installation – these artists are united by core concerns: colonial legacies, cultural survival, gender and body sovereignty, and ceremonial memory. Defying imposed borders, both physical and symbolic, their works map relationships through memory, ritual, gendered embodiment, language, and land.

Vernissage : Sunday, April 19, 2 p.m.
