CARRIERS | COMMUNITY

MARCH 4 – APRIL 23
Virtual Tour available March 9
Public Reception: Friday, March 3, 6 – 8 pm, indoors and masks required
Galusha Gallery

CARRIERS | COMMUNITY will feature vessels created by community members as an offering. With Leonard as our guide, NCC will collaborate with local organizations that serve Indigenous youth through educational, social, economic, and cultural development programs. Through our collective work efforts, youth and other community members will be introduced to clay as an art medium while they explore multilayered conversations about local water practices and awareness. The youth’s work in clay will culminate with the creation of vessels and other clay objects which will be part of CARRIERS

During the run of the exhibition, this space will be an interactive and exploratory one with guests invited to handle the vessels and contribute their own water stories by writing on the gallery walls. In the final days of the exhibition, the makers of the vessels will be invited back to NCC to participate in a water and storytelling gathering, making use of the vessels they created. A meaningful component of the interaction in the gallery is the knowledge that, while creating the vessel, the maker understands it is ultimately an offering to another person in the community. 

As of press time, NCC has confirmed the following outreach partners as part of these exhibitions: Anishinabe Academy, Dream of Wild Health, and MIGIZI. Learn more about each organization via the links below.
