Reconciling (part 2)

Artist

Myka Der

Description

Reconciling focuses on Canada’s efforts towards reconciliation and questions the attempt at national healing. Rather than responding to Indigenous calls for sovereignty and land back, reconciliation often makes a spectacle of Indigenous pain in hopes that it will absolve Canada of its past wrongs. By opening up dialogue between Canada’s current efforts, and opportunities for decolonial work, Reconciling centers themes of transcendence, collaboration, activism and care.
