BONNIE DEVINE: LA RÁBIDA, SOUL OF CONQUEST: AN ANISHINAABE ENCOUNTER
Nov 23, 2018
- All Day
Feb 17, 2019 - All Day
La Rábida is a Franciscan monastery overlooking the mouth of the Rio Tinto near the small town of Palos de la Frontera on the Atlantic coast of Spain. Christopher Columbus set sail from this place in August 1492 confident he would find a new route to Asia. He landed instead on an island in the Caribbean Sea. The cultural confrontation that followed his landing is the inspiration and subject of this exhibition at Idea Exchange Queens Square
The development of La Rábida, Soul of Conquest: an Anishinaabe encounter began in 2015 and 2016, when artist Bonnie Devine visited Spain intending to examine the legacy of Columbus from an Indigenous perspective. Her research evolved into a broader investigation of the religious justification for the seizure of land and the subjugation of Indigenous populations in the Americas when she happened on the monastery at La Rábida.
This exhibition is Organized and Circulated by the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

On the surface it seems that Mary and Brian Hanson, have what appears to be a very comfortable marriage. But though content, the marriage has grown tired. And then one morning, their lives are turned upside down when Mary’s lost love, Peter, shows up... or does he? Although Peter professes his undying love and devotion, he turns out to simply be Mary’s fantasy. But fantasy or not, that doesn’t keep Brian from going into a jealous rage. Brian tries everything to shake Mary back to her senses, even going as far as hiring Tori, in hopes of making Mary jealous. Things get even more complicated when the real Peter actually shows up.

NEIGHBOURS COMMUNITY PROJECT FACILITATED BY HEATHER MAJAURY
Mar 08, 2019
- All Day
Apr 20, 2019 - All Day
Heather Majaury (Algonquin Anishinabekwe) moved to the Haldimand Tract in 2002. The descendant of historically unregistered Indigenous people and pioneer settlers she grew up in Algonquin traditional territory where most of her close and extended family still remain. She is a performing artist who privileges the community-based storytelling of lived experience as expert knowledge in her ongoing praxis. She believes that story-sharing (dibajmowinan) is a powerful tool that can be used in the service of ongoing reconciliation to help inform social policy and actions. Crucial to the work of developing resilient communities is the cultivation of common social memory while also respecting and learning from individual variance, difference and diversity within larger and more general narratives. She feels the spaces and tensions evoked between patterns and anomalies, chatter and silences as holding dynamic generative and transformative potential toward positive social change.
In Neighbours, Heather enlists the community in responding to the Truth & Reconciliation Commission Call To Action 93 through quilt making, story sharing another arts-based methods.
