Nipugtug: The Gallery Experience

Treaty Space Gallery, 1107 Marginal Rd.
Nipugtug: The Gallery Experience uses multimedia storytelling tools to expand upon the themes of counter memory activism and Mi’gmaw language revitalization. This collaborative project encourages visitors to experience how Mi’gmaw language revitalization can transcend fluency.
Mi’kmaw author Emma Metallic’s passion for writing children’s stories is combined with Métis designer Natalie Laurin’s love for visual storytelling, producing an engaging gallery adaptation of Metallic’s story Nipugtug.
Nipugtug follows the intergenerational journey of A’le’s, a young Mi’kmaw woman, walking through a forest. There, she meets animals who guide her through both challenging and nourishing emotions of learning her Mi’gmaw language.
Nipugtug: The Gallery Experience will be shown in the NSCAD Treaty Space Gallery beginning April 26th, 2022 and will run through the month of May.
Opening: Nipugtug: The Gallery Experience, Natalie Laurin and Emma Metallic
