July 25th, 5:30 PM to 8 PM
In partnership with Land InSights
La Guilde invites you to attend the opening of the exhibition Time and Tide - While neither waits on no one, both have changed, presented in partnership Land InSights as part of the International First Peoples' Festival.
Eldred Allen and Jason Sikoak, both from Kikiak/Rigolet (Nunatsiavut, NL), share a distinctive approach that expresses important transitions in Inuit experience. With fundamentally different practices, these artists offer a pertinent and necessary critical look at realities of Inuit life, past and present. Reflecting on spirituality and colonial issues, Jason Sikoak uses a variety of materials -including sealskin- to address subjects rooted as much in Inuit history as in the present. Drawing on his background in documentary photography, artist Eldred Allen captures powerful moments that convey both the beauty and the complexities of the realities of his territory.
Presented in collaboration with Land InSights, Time and Tide offers a sensible look at the realities of Nunatsiavut communities. The artists guide us through a narrative that presents a rich and very present-day Inuit heritage, inviting us to reflect on the various environmental and cultural transitions that influence it.
We look forward to seeing you at the opening!
