Join artist Nancy Deleary for an artist talk and guided tour of the exhibition Nii Ndahlohke / I Work, curated by Mary Jane McCallum and Julie Rae Tucker. This exhibition brings together existing works and new commissions by First Nations artists. The show explores the forced labour of students at Mount Elgin Industrial School (1851-1946). Nancy Deleary will offer insight into her artistic techniques and the stories that inspired her work. Following the tour, Nancy will lead a sandwich-making workshop inspired by her work, For Uncle Art (2023).
