About
The starting point for this group exhibition is the change of season—the transition from fall to winter, and the Alsig8ntegkw River (also known as the Saint-François River) that borders the city of Drummondville. Glenn Gear, Carla Hemlock and Christine Sioui Wawanoloath explore notions of connection to the changing seasons and the various waterways that flow through their territories and communities through the mediums of textiles, murals, installations and digital projections. J'entends ton chaud murmure à travers la brume froide / I hear your warm whisper through the cold mist is inscribed in a cyclical time, sensory memory and the constellation of Indigenous relationships.
This exhibition is imagined as a moment of love enveloping the cold mist that quietly settles in at this time of year, lulled by Indigenous stories and traditions that sail like ricochets between the waterways. Thus, visitors will be able to witness this circular and moving time, a sovereign space where the frozen Alsig8ntegkw River whispers in our ears that it is time to be lulled by the first snow and the universes of these incredible artists.
