Treaty Space

Down to the Wick
Alexia Mitchell and Kayla Rudderham

Down to the Wick

Nov 15 - 29, 2019

Treaty Space Gallery, 1107 Marginal Rd.

MAED curators

Closing reception: Friday 29 November, 5-7PM

Down to the Wick is a multi-disciplinary group exhibition investigating how colonization has had an impact on the ways we cope with mental and emotional distress and how artistic practice can help or hinder these experiences. Curators Mitchell and Rudderham hope to bring awareness, discussion and multiple perspectives to the forefront while practicing the guiding principle of “two-eyed seeing”, a term coined by Mi’kmaw elder Albert Marshall to describe utilizing the strengths of both Indigenous and settler ways of knowing, together for the benefit of all.
