Threads of Kin and Belonging: A Trinnipeg Live Mixtape Project 

Tour Join us for a tour of the THREADS of KIN and BELONGING exhibition.

This project is an intervention and conversation between Indigenous Nations and Black communities on Treaty One Territory. It is about creating, defining, and collaborating in a space by us and for us—our kin. We are exploring our collective histories and our unique, but intertwined futures—to create threads of kin and belonging.

In this tour visitors to the gallery space will have the opportunity to see and learn about artwork by artists that come from diverse cultural backgrounds who are working to communicate ideas focused on identity, gender, representation and accessibility to continue and expand on existing conversations about taking up space in institutional organizations.
