Description

Adawe routes/passages Adàwe 

On the 10th anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s findings, Algonquin and Quebecois Métis artist Lise Perras and Orcadian-Canadian artist Janet Tulloch present a collaborative exhibition, Adawe routes/passages Adàwe.

Their work shares overlapping stories, texts, and cultural objects that have crossed oceans and rivers in trade. The exhibition incorporates the received artistic media of Indigenous-Settler cultures as a contemporary expression of ongoing exchange and influence among their places of origin.

Together, the artists create a cultural bridge that invites dialogue around shared social concerns — including disappeared women, residential schools, relationships with land and animals, and the importance of clean drinking water. Perras and Tulloch have worked in each other’s studios, taken each other’s workshops, and exhibited together before. Their practices — and the resulting artwork — have been sustained and transformed by this exchange.
