Event summary

Highlights

Features works by Métis, Anishinaabe, Cree, and Hesquiaht artists
Includes live painting and Woodland-style artworks
Coincides with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Hosted at the VISAC Gallery on Cedar Avenue in downtown Trail, the exhibition brings together artists Johnny Mukwa, Mark Anthony Jacobson, Kassondra Pelletier, and Laura Lee Graves. The display includes abstract pieces by Graves influenced by Woodland teachings, as well as traditional Woodland works by the other three featured artists. The gallery describes the show as a chorus of voices—personal, political, and ceremonial—inviting viewers to engage with Indigenous narratives on their own terms.

The event launched with an opening reception on September 14, which included light refreshments, a land acknowledgement, and live painting sessions by two of the participants. Because the exhibition period overlaps with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, it serves as a significant site for acknowledging history and celebrating the continuity of Indigenous traditions.

During the exhibition, the gallery maintains public hours from noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. This event is part of a series of community learning opportunities in Trail focused on Indigenous teachings and artifacts, encouraging local engagement with the history and resilience of various nations.
