Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong.

Join artist Jennifer Willet in conversation with Julie Rae Tucker, co-curator of the exhibition, Biocurious. BioCurious brings together works by eighteen artists whose works explore living materials as their subject matter, and in some cases, their artistic medium. The artists intertwine scientific and cultural knowledge to propose different ways of understanding living bodies and the land.
