This Michael Snow print from the KWAG Permanent Collection, 'Smoke and Mirrors' (1994) is featured in our community curator exhibition, Articulating Legibility. While the artist gazes at us through his camera's lens, the rising flames threaten to engulf all that we perceive.

An artist of Plains Cree, Scottish and Irish ancestry, Cuthand has long examined the terror and beauty of viruses using beaded panels. She recently made a series of beaded N95 masks that remind us of the contagion and catastrophe suffered by Indigenous people under colonialism.

In honour of National Indigenous History Month, we invite you all to join McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy and Saskatchewan-based artist Ruth Cuthand for a discussion of her work on June 22 at 7 pm (link to register).
