Indigenous Futurisms promote healing, freedom, and self-rule. They offer hope for a future influenced by Indigenous views. The upcoming exhibition, co-curated by Sonny Assu and Jenelle Pasiechnik, will deepen our understanding of Indigenous Futurisms, which has evolved over 20 years.
Red Works Outtakes, Nadya Kwandibens
The exhibition reveals that Futurism is linked to the past. It shows how cultural insights guide artists. These artists see a connection with the past, seeking support from ancestors. They blend past and future visions, creating guidance and hope for the present moment. Through art and knowledge, they connect ongoing activism, and demonstrate the resilience and endurance of Indigenous culture.
The show will celebrate a view of time that is cyclical and interconnected. Here, past, present, and future are linked. This approach is vital for applying traditional knowledge today. It shows that Indigenous practices are crucial for the future.
