📅 Exhibition from May 2 to June 15, 2025 Vernissage on Friday, May 2 at 5 p.m. Talk at 6:30 p.m. 📅 Public visit with the co-curators: Friday, May 2 at 3:30 p.m. at 650, Côte d’Abraham “Ywahentetha’. ‘We place you before others in our minds.’ As curators, we believe our role is to foster dialogue between artists and their works in a way that amplifies their power, as well as the love that resides and emanates from their being. When we envisioned this exhibition, we began by selecting artists: Rebecca Belmore, Dayna Danger, France Gros-Louis Morin, Shelley Niro, Sylvie Paré, Katherine Takpannie, and Tania Willard. We knew we wanted to work with these individuals because we hold them in high esteem – we love them for what they do. Then, as we discussed and developed the exhibition's direction, we decided to anchor it directly in this idea of love and honor. Based on this desire to uplift these artists who are dear to our minds and hearts, we prioritized a curatorial gesture over a theme. This is how love found itself at the center of the project, both through the relationships it nurtured and the works it highlighted. We explored this love through family, intergenerational and sometimes imaginary relationships, as well as through our relationship with the land. We also recognize that around these relationships, there can be grief and pain. These emotions can be soothed with love and care. With this exhibition, we want to invite you to experience the emotional strength of these works, the power that the artists transmit to us with such gentleness and attention. When you are there with us, looking, we are all participants generating the Ywahentetha’ that is so urgent to share.” – Greg A. Hill and Julia Caron Guillemette
