This installation of the RMG’s permanent collection asks the question: Whose Home and Native Land? This takes into account not only the physical landscape, but those who have occupied it for thousands of years and those settlers whose traces can be measured in hundreds of years.
This has been a collaborative venture: along with RMG staff, we have met with three Indigenous community members whose responses to the collection have framed the exhibition’s content and its direction. The RMG’s collection is very Eurocentric, but also includes amazing examples of work by First Nations and Inuit artists and we continue to expand its base of work by racially diverse artists.
Produced in partnership with Reagan Kennedy, Dawn Lavell-Harvard, and Alex Ranger
The RMG is incredibly grateful to Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation for their support of this exhibition.
