SUMMARY:Creative Minds: Exploring Materials in Contemporary Art with Meagan Musseau
DESCRIPTION:What is materiality and activation? Join us for an interactive talk with Mi’kmaw artist Meagan Musseau as she talks about her artwork and the ways she uses materials to explore different themes in her work.  \n\n\n\nFrom constructed coats to photography and Mi’kmaw basketry\, Musseau’s work takes on a variety of forms using customary and contemporary materials. You can visit Musseau’s work in the exhibition Ta’n a’sikatikl sipu’l | Confluence\, in the Mi’kma’ki Artists’ Spotlight section\, beginning September 16th\, 2023. \n\n\n\n\nReserve Your Seat\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Program \n\n\n\nCreative Minds hosts community leaders and creatives to respond to current events\, exhibitions on view\, or artworks in the Gallery. Through conversation\, music\, poetry\, or movement\, these events aim to provoke new ideas\, explore the unexpected and create more understanding for everyone involved. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeagan Musseau is an L’nu1 woman from Elmastukwek\, Ktaqmkuk2 currently living in Unama’kik3. She is an artist\, dancer\, and proud Aunty who works with artistic mediums such as basketry\, textiles\, land-based performance\, and video.
