About the Series

Land\Mark is presented in partnership with the Mawi’art: Wabanaki Artist Collective, the premier indigenous collective east of Montreal. The series is comprised of six participants: three artists, invited to present public, temporary, and performative artworks in response to Canada’s 150th year of confederation, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC): Calls to Action, land restitution; as well as three writers, invited to engage with artists on-site and respond to their work through text.

Land\Mark addresses the need for critical discourse and documentation on issues central to the task of decolonization, as identified by Indigenous peoples in Canada and the Canadian arts and culture community, by prioritizing the provision of experience, resources, and networking opportunities to Indigenous and BIPOC artist and writers based in Canada. As a site-responsive, critically generative, and collaborative project, Land\Mark is structured to create dynamic and exploratory art spaces and perceptive works of critical writing.
