SUMMARY:Nocturne Artist Talk - Corrie Peters
DESCRIPTION:Corrie Peters (she/her) is an artist in conversation with social practice\, fibre art and installation\, among other mediums. Her artwork is building relationships that teach her how to listen to and learn from those often silenced through current systems of power. In this she holds so much gratitude for all those who have\, and continue to\, teach her about empathy\, activism\, change and care. The publicly displayed pieces are the documentation of Corrie’s artwork – translating what she has learnt to a larger audience. These are often layered projects that involve time\, both as a medium\, and as a component of viewing. Corrie lives as an uninvited guest with her family\, on the unceded land of the lək̓ʷəŋən people. Her work has been supported by grants from The Canada Council for the Arts\, Social Science and Humanities Research\, among others\, as well as through residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute and Salt Spring Arts Council. She also won the inaugural Salt Spring National Art Prize.

SUMMARY:Nocturne Artist Talk - Erasure Art Collective
DESCRIPTION:Erasure Art Collective (EAC) is an interdisciplinary arts group committed to researching and reinterpreting archival texts using visual\, poetic\, and performative erasure. Co-founders Shauntay Grant and Tyshan Wright have been collaborating and exhibiting together since 2017 when they created the multimedia artwork ‘Abeng’ for Canada: Day 1\, a national group exhibition presented by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. EAC’s inaugural project\, called BLACKOUT\, has been presented at Nocturne (2022)\, Atlantic Arts Symposium (2022)\, and the Canadian Association for Theatre Research Conference (2023). As artists with ancestral ties to the arrival of Black Loyalists\, Jamaican Maroons\, and Black Refugees to Nova Scotia in the late 1700s and early 1800s\, creating art that illuminates African Nova Scotian and African diasporic histories and experiences is a vital part of EAC’s research and creative work. The collective’s work is multilayered and highlights a research-creation approach to interpreting archival texts\, with BLACKOUT championing a multidisciplinary creative approach to the study and presentation of slavery in Atlantic Canada.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Peoples Day at AGNS
DESCRIPTION:What is Indigenous Peoples Day? \n\n\n\nJune 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day and a time to celebrate the diverse and unique cultures and contributions of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island [North America]. This also marks the longest day of the year\, the Summer Solstice\, and a new season of life. \n\n\n\nHow does the AGNS support and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day? \n\n\n\nWe are on Mi’kma’ki (Mi’kmaq Territory) and through the Peace and Friendship Treaties\, which the Mi’kmaq\, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet)\, and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725-1726\, there was no surrender of lands nor resources. Agreements within these Treaties outline a path for the ongoing relationship between Nations in mutual respect. \n\n\n\nIndigenous People’s Day\, and everyday\, is a great time to learn about the treaties and to reflect on how we are all Treaty People in relationship to this land and each other. \n\n\n\nAdmission \n\n\n\nDid you know the AGNS offers free admission to Indigenous people year-round? \n\n\n\nDaily Tour \n\n\n\nThe AGNS offers free daily tours at 2:00 pm for everyone. Tours are a great way to learn and understand more about the art on display. There’s no sign up required; just come to the front desk at 2:00 pm and your guide will be waiting! Today\, the tour will feature Indigenous art on view. \n\n\n\nWhile you’re here\, check out our learning space adjacent to the lobby called “Interconnections: See\, play\, learn.” \n\n\n\nWhat’s On View \n\n\n\n“Arctic/Amazon: Networks of Global Indigeneity\,” explores the ways in which Indigenous contemporary artists take on issues of climate change\, globalized Indigeneity\, and contact zones in and about the Arctic and the Amazon during a time of crisis. The featured artists have their origins in these places\, and their works embody a politics of resistance\, resurgence\, and ways of knowing and being in relation to the lands that are the source of their knowledge and creativity.       \n\n\n\n“Ta’n a’sikatikl sipu’l | Confluence\,” celebrates works by Indigenous artists in the AGNS Permanent Collection through themes of relationships and connections. In this exhibition there are two spotlight sections including the “Mi’kma’ki Artists’ Spotlight\,” which features an Indigenous artist making work on Mi’kmaw territory now (Megan Kyak-Monteith)\, and “(Tea)chings\,” a space for artwork created through programming by Indigenous community members of all ages. \n\n\n\nNote: This exhibition is also available virtually! Experience the exhibit without even leaving the house on the Experience -> Virtual Tours section of this website. \n\n\n\nThe AGNS also has an “Exhibition Highlight\,” of artists Kent Monkman (Cree\, Fisher River Cree Nation)\, Ursula Johnson (Mi’kmaw\, Eskasoni\, Unama’ki Cape Breton)\, and Jordan Bennett (Mi’kmaw\, Katqmkuk Newfoundland). In this exhibition\, you will see paintings exploring treaties\, relationships\, and Mi’kmaw ancestral and contemporary dialogues alongside sculptural installations exploring the sharing of cultural knowledge. \n\n\n\nSummer Solstice \n\n\n\nIndigenous People’s Day falls on Summer Solstice and Mi’kmaw Territory sees the first light each morning at sunrise on the east coast. Check out Jordan Bennett’s 13 moons on view at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Western Branch\, that talks about the Mi’kmaw lunar calendar. \n\n\n\nGákte-Quipo \n\n\n\nThis is a satellite installation from the exhibition “Arctic/Amazon: Networks of Global Indigeneity.” \n\n\n\nTreaty Space Gallery\, 1107 Marginal Rd. \n\n\n\n“Gákte-Quipo\,” is a textile installation consisting of Sámi clothing twisted and tied into a “quipo form\,” made collaboratively by Máret Ánne Sara (Sámi\, Norway) and Cecilia Vicuña (Chile). In its traditional form\, the quipo is an ancient system of recording composed of strings and knots\, historically used by cultures located in the South American Andes. Overtime\, the understanding of quipos has been lost\, and this work seeks to honour Indigenous Peoples whose cultures and art are often threatened. \n\n\n\nIt utilizes “gáktis\,” (type of traditional Sámi clothing) that were donated from across Sápmi territories in solidarity with the trial\, the piece ties together Indigenous voices and the struggle from northern to southern hemispheres. \n\n\n\nTo Watch in the Theatre \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor Heritage Day 2023\, the province of Nova Scotia honoured the legacy of Elder Rita (Bernard) Joe\, a member of the We’koqma’q Mi’kmaq Community and published author. \n\n\n\nThree Mi’kmaw writers were commissioned by the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia\, to create pieces inspired by the life and works of Rita Joe: \n\n\n\nTiffany MorrisDanica RoacheRaymond Sewell \n\n\n\nThe works were presented to a group of Indigenous students from schools in Kjipuktuk (Halifax\, NS)\, at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia to honour the memory of Rita Joe. The students were welcomed by poet and emcee for the event Rebecca Thomas\, who talked about Rita Joe and performed her poem\, “I’m Finding My Talk\,” created in response to Rita Joe’s most famous poem\, “I Lost My Talk.”

SUMMARY:The Painted House: Conserving the art of Maud Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Maud Lewis is one of Canada’s most renowned folk artists\, one whose story and paintings bring delight to thousands of visitors to Nova Scotia every year. Her art and life have garnered increased media attention over recent decades in part due to a dramatization of her life in film and the high value of her paintings at auction. At the heart of the Maud Lewis collection at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is her Painted House. Maud experimentally embellished almost every surface in her tiny home\, formerly located in Marshalltown\, Nova Scotia\, creating an iconic artwork that was almost lost. \n\n\n\nExtensive conservation continues to be vital in treating her paintings\, the adorned objects inside her home\, and every element of the house itself. The ability to share and present Maud Lewis’s art with the world is the result of this meticulous work. Join three conservators as they discuss their contributions to the preservation of Maud Lewis’s art and legacy. \n\n\n\nLocation: Paul O’Regan Hall\, Halifax Public Library\, 5440 Spring Garden Road\,  \n\n\n\nPanelists include: Craig Dix\, Jennifer Fotheringham\, and Michelle Gallinger. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will be moderated by Shannon Parker\, Laufer Curator of Collections\, and will be followed by a Q+A. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, with no registration required. \n\n\n\nAbout Creative Minds:\n\n\n\nThe Creative Minds series 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\nIn partnership with Halifax Public Libraries

SUMMARY:Creative Minds: Unearthing Colour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Erin Comeau as she walks us through the foraging and discovery practices that help guide her creative process. Emphasizing locally sourced colours\, she believes each paint has an interesting story to tell. \n\n\n\nErin Comeau is a librarian and lifelong learner. Her early fascination with Nova Scotia geology and deep appreciation of nature recently led her to discover the ancient techniques of paint making and in turn\, the history of the planet. Using her kitchen as a lab and the various corners of her house for a studio\, she works mainly with mineral pigments and watercolour paint. Her more recent experiments with botanical inks and lake pigments have further enhanced her local colour palette.

SUMMARY:Heritage Day: Rita Joe
DESCRIPTION:This Heritage Day honours the legacy of Elder Rita (Bernard) Joe\, a member of the We’koqma’q Mi’kmaq Community and published author.

Indigenous students from schools in Kjipuktuk (Halifax\, NS) came to celebrate with the poets at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and we’re excited to share this experience with you all virtually! \n\n\n\nSwing by the AGNS on February 20th to watch it in our Windsor Foundation Lecture Theatre from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm with free admission! \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration with The Writer’s Federation and the Province of Nova Scotia. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nTiffany Morris is a Mi’kmaw/settler writer of speculative fiction and poetry from Kjipuktuk (Halifax)\, Nova Scotia. She is the author of the horror poetry collection Elegies of Rotting Stars (Nictitating Books\, 2022). Her work has appeared in Uncanny Magazine\, Nightmare Magazine\, and Apex Magazine\, among others. She has an MA in English with a focus on Indigenous Futurisms. She is a member of the Speculative Fiction Poetry Association and the Horror Writers Association\, and her work has been nominated for Elgin\, Rhysling\, and Aurora Awards. \n\n\n\nDanica Francis Roache is a mixed-ancestry mother of four\, born and raised in Kjipuktuk. The daughter of Mi’kmaw journalist and educator\, Trina Roache\, Danica’s Mi’kmaw family is spread out across Kjipuktuk\, Glooscap and other communities in what we now call Nova Scotia. A past participant of the Alistair Macleod Mentorship Program\, Danica is working on her first novel\, The First Five Years. \n\n\n\nRaymond Sewell is an l’nu poet\, singer-songwriter\, and English professor from Pabineau\, First Nation\, New-Brunswick. Since a young age Raymond has been writing and producing creative works. Raymond currently lives in Bedford\, Nova Scotia and is inspired by the ocean. \n\n\n\nRebecca Thomas is an award winning Mi’kmaw poet and activist who does not want to be a poet or activist. She just happens to be good enough at poetry and persuasion to get people to listen but her ultimate goal is to make Canada a better place for her Indigenous community because so many people tend to forget they were here first. She has accidentally found herself as the former Poet Laureate of Halifax. She has performed with the Halluci Nation and has spoken and lectured at conferences and coffee houses from coast to coast. She writes kids books about growing up the child of a residential school survivor. Her first book I’m Finding My Talk has been shortlisted for the First Nations Community Reads Award. Her most recent collection of poetry called “I place you into the fire” was listed as one of CBC’s top 20 books of 2020. Her book “Swift Fox All Along” was a finalist for the 2020 Governor General’s Award for children’s literature. She has an upcoming children’s book called “The Chair” set for a 2024 publishing date. She pays her bills by helping students who are overwhelmed with life and studies as a Student Services Advisor at the Nova Scotia Community College.
