VISITING WITH BEADWORK
ORGANIZED BY HALI HEAVY SHIELD, KALLI EAGLE SPEAKER, CAROL WILLIAMS; ADAPTED BY LAC
"Originally organized for the Galt Museum & Archives, the travelling exhibition We Visit with Kainaiwa Beadwork features historical Kainai beadwork and stories of contemporary artists. At the Leighton Art Centre, the exhibition expands to include local Indigenous beadworkers from Metis, Cree, and Tsuut’ina communities. Showcasing works by Tania Big Plume, Karen Risbey, Jamie Rozema-Stinson, and Summer Supernant, Visiting with Beadwork highlights the diversity and richness of Indigenous beadwork traditions - bridging past and present, and celebrating contemporary expressions of cultural continuity.”
In person: August 30 - October 26, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm (closed Mondays).
Please join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, September 6 from 1 to 4 pm, artist remarks at 2 pm.
Theresa Williams: Reconciling Home
Reconciling Home is an exhibition of oil paintings inspired by Theresa Williams' deep connection to the Fraser Canyon and her mixed Secwepemc and European ancestry. Exploring identity, belonging, and intergenerational healing, the work responds to Murray Sinclair's Four Questions for a Life and a Nation, asking: "Where do I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Who am I?"
Four is important for many Indigenous peoples. Four cardinal directions, four seasons, four stages of life, and four core values. Williams invites viewers to reflect on their roots, relationships to land, and the long-term impact of their choices on future generations.
In person: August 30 - October 26, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm (closed Mondays).
