Treaty Space

Xandú: Honouring Our Ancestors
Community Collaborative Project

Oct 15 - Nov 8, 2024

Treaty Space Gallery, 1107 Marginal Rd.

NEW LOCATION: 1887 Granville Street, Halifax

Xandú: Honouring Our Ancestors is one facet of Land Connects Us, a series of workshops and exhibitions highlighting our ongoing relationship to our ancestors. It explores how various art forms can support and further community-building efforts within Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. 

This exhibition uses cellphilms (cellphone video production), food, and storytelling to form an international relationship and cross-cultural exchange between Mi'kmaq and Zapotec Indigenous youth, nurturing a language and cultural reclamation network. 

Land Connects Us is a Planting the Seeds of Cultural Continuity initiative, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
