Faye HeavyShield
Calling Stones (Conversations)' presents a new body of work by Indigenous Alberta artist Faye HeavyShield. Driven and inspired by her memories, her family and her community, HeavyShield?s works are often composed of circles, spirals, grids and lines, recalling the bonds of families and the gathering of communities. The work featured here was inspired by the artist?s visits to the Majorville medicine wheel (Iniskim Umaapi) in southern Alberta and the stories of her ancestors that are rooted there. An important centre of traditional ceremony and worship, Iniskim Umaapi has been continuously used for over 4,500 years, making it one of the oldest religious monuments in the world. Drawing from her responses to this site, its history and her own heritage, HeavyShield?s work provides both a personal and conceptual connection to the past, linking generations of Indigenous peoples to the present lives of the Kainai people. 00Exhibition: Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada (28.10.2017-19.02.2018).

With incisive contr...
Double Desire
Double Desire challenges the tendency by critics to perpetuate an aesthetic apartheid between Indigenous and Western art. The double desire explored in this book is that of the divided but also amplified attractions that occur between cultural traditions in places where both indigenous and colonial legacies are strong. The result, it is argued, produces imaginative transcultural practices that resist the assimilation or acculturation of Indigenous perspectives into the dominant Western mod...
