Visiting with Morrisseau: Gathering at the Carleton University Art Gallery
November 18 – November 19, 2023
11:00 am – 4:00 pm
Visiting with Morrisseau is a free public gathering centered around stories—visual and oral—inspired by the art and legacy of Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007) and Anishinaabeg medicine teachings. This special event is held in conjunction with the exhibitions Norval Morrisseau: Medicine Currents and Christian Chapman: Run to the Hills!
Taking place at Carleton University Art Gallery, on unceded, unsurrendered, Algonquin Territory, this gathering welcomes Anishinaabe artists, Elders, knowledge keepers and community members from Anishinaabe Aki.
Join us to visit, enjoy food and share stories inspired by the Mishomis or Grandfather’s artistic and cultural legacy. You will have the opportunity to actively and deeply engage with visual narratives embedded in the work of Norval Morrisseau and Christian Chapman through immersive activities, including sharing circles, slow-looking exercises and reflective discussions.
Curators Danielle Printup and Carmen Robertson will also lead guided tours of the Morrisseau and Chapman exhibitions.
This event is generously supported by Westerkirk Works of Art, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
