Gerald McMaster is scheduled to deliver a special lecture exploring the role of art in truth, reconciliation, and the representation of Indigenous histories and contemporary experiences. The event is scheduled for Thursday, October 1, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Harrison McCain Pavilion in Fredericton, and is free and open to the public.
Presented as an Indigenous artist, curator, writer and educator, McMaster will be followed by a panel led by Emma Hassencahl-Perley, Curator of Indigenous Art at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, with artists Jake Kimble and Alan Syliboy. The panel will explore how Indigenous artists engage with history, identity, cultural knowledge and reconciliation through their practices.
The event offers an opportunity to hear directly from Indigenous artists and reflect on the ongoing work of truth and reconciliation.
