Raechel Wastesicoot: Kenatentas Opening Reception

Jan 27, 2024, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Please join us to celebrate the opening of Raechel Wastesicoot: Kenatentas. Let us know you’re coming with an RSVP.

Refreshments will be served. Join us in the exhibition space at 2:15pm for remarks and an exhibition walkthrough with the artist and RMG Associate Curator, Erin Szikora.

Raechel Wastesicoot is a mixed Kanien’kehá:ka beadworker born and raised in Oshawa and currently based in Toronto. In her debut exhibition, Wastesicoot has created twelve beaded artworks in response to paintings and drawings from the RMG’s Permanent Collection. Working with upcycled, vintage, and harvested materials, her pieces are personal reflections on family and community, inspired by the rich colours and abstractions of Ontario’s abstract collective Painters Eleven.

Seating will be available. If there is anything else we can do to support your participation, please reach out to Erin at [email protected].

This exhibition is presented with support from the Government of Ontario through the Tourism Relief Fund.
