Wesuwe-tpelomosu examines modern matriarchy from examples of Indigenous women's leadership, self-determination, and activism within their families and communities. In Wolastoqey latuwewakon (our language), wesuwe-tpelomosu translates to "returning to a former condition in being responsible for oneself."
Featuring the art of Lisa-Maude Aubin, Shirley Bear, Chief Lady Bird, Catherine Blackburn, Samaqani Cocahq (Natalie Sappier), Vienna Francis (Sanipass), Larissa Kitchemonia, Caroline Monnet, David Neel, and Roger Simon, this group exhibition considers the gendered experiences of Indigenous mothers and grandmothers and how they utilize their voices to rally against settler colonialism.
