Join us on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 PM for a Big Ideas Lecture in Arts & Culture with Shelley Niro.
Big Ideas in Art & Culture features established artists whose practice pushes the edge of what it means to be an artist who engages with the myriad, multi-dimensional environments that compose our world.
This lecture will be presented by Shelley Niro, who is a member of the Turtle Clan, Bay of Quinte Mohawk Six Nations Grand River Reserve. Niro is conscious of the impact that post-colonial mediums have had on Indigenous people. Photo series such as Mohawks in Beehives, This Land is Mime Land, and M: Stories of Women are a few examples; her recent films include The Incredible 25th Year of Mitzi Bearclaw (2018) and Café Daughter (2022).
Free · Reception to follow. The event space is accessible by both a ramp and stairs leading to the front entrance, with stair and elevator access to the washrooms. Co-presented by Art Gallery of Guelph, CAFKA and Musagetes.
