NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY | 7
SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2022
a bridge — across cultures, physical distance and generations. On National Indigenous Peoples Day in 2021, WAG-Qaumajuq announced the Winnipeg Indigenous Triennial: its commitment to hosting a large-scale Indigenous exhibition every three years. Current exhibitions include Qaumajuq’s inaugural exhibition Inua, featuring the work of 90 Inuit artists, which runs until February 2023; Inuk Style, on display until June 19, 2022; and Kakiniit Hivonighijotaa: Inuit Embodied Practices and Meanings, on until July 30, 2022. Also on display is Kwaata-Nihtaawakihk: A Hard Birth, a reflection of Métis history and the birth of Manitoba, which runs until September. Coming in October is a solo exhibition from renowned Anishinaabe Salteaux colourist Robert Houle called Red is Beautiful. For National Indigenous Peoples Day in 2022, WAG-Qaumajuq is hosting several musical performances by Indigenous artists from 7 to 10 p.m., including Leonard Sumner, Fawn Wood, IVA, Uyarakq and 2oolman from The Halluci Nation. In an effort to become a decolonial institution and in response to the TRC Calls to Action, admission to WAG-Qaumajuq is always free for Indigenous persons.
