A word from our curator
\nIvanie Aubin-Malo<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

\u201cFor my first project as a guest curator, I wanted to highlight the enduring presence of Indigenous people in Tio\u2019tia:ke, in Montr\u00e9al, through a mode of artistic expression related to dance that would serve as a tangible symbol to echo the land acknowledgement included in our program and recited before each performance.<\/p>\n

I reached out to Sylvain Rivard, a seasoned multidisciplinary artist who focuses on various aspects of First Nations culture. His knowledge of languages allows him to transmit songs and tales with accuracy and respect.<\/p>\n

His understanding of material culture allows him to create contemporary art while drawing heavily on ancestral techniques. His work connects with fields as varied as museology, cinematography, television, education, and publishing.<\/p>\n

I know how powerfully art can fuel thought and act as a doorway to other cultures. I hope this exhibition will spark your interest in learning more about First Nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cWhy leave artefacts to scientists and art to First Nations artists when syncretism is possible?\u201d<\/p>\n
