Divya Mehra incorporates found artifacts and ready-made objects as active signifiers of resistance in a multitude of forms, including photo, video, film, sculpture, print, drawing, performance, installation and advertising. Her works serve as reminders of the difficult realities of displacement, loss, neutrality and oppression.

Recent projects include From India to Canada and back to India (There is nothing I can possess which you cannot take away) (2020), in which Mehra’s research for the exhibition led to the repatriation and institutional deaccession of a looted artifact from India. Mehra holds an MFA from Columbia University.

Katherine Boyer

Katherine Boyer (Métis/Settler) is a multidisciplinary artist, whose work is focused on methods bound to textile arts and the handmade — primarily woodworking and beadwork. Her art and research encompass personal family narratives, entwined with Métis history, material culture, and architectural spaces (human-made and natural).

Boyer’s work often explores boundaries between two opposing things, in an effort to better understand both sides of a perceived dichotomous identity. This manifests in long, slow and laborious processes that attempt to unravel and better understand history, environmental influences, and personal memories.

tīná gúyáńí (meaning “deer road” in Tsuut'ina) is a two-person artist collective from Guts’ists’i (Calgary). Founded in 2019, the collective is comprised of the parent/child Tsuut’ina duo, Glenna Cardinal and seth cardinal dodginghorse.

In 2014, they were forcibly removed from their homes and ancestral land on the Tsuut’ina Nation Reserve, for construction of the multilane Southwest Calgary Ring Road. Their multidisciplinary practice has explored their connection to land, and the effects of the environmental/psychological damage caused by the Ring Road. Their work is an act of cultural preservation, and a protest against ongoing settler colonialism.
