The Dream we form by Being Together
June 29 to October 1, 2017
Free, nonticketed event
As part of Canada’s 150th year, the Borealis Gallery opens The Dream We Form By Being Together. This exhibition centres on the theme of reconciliation and emerges from the awareness that art can play a central role in the process. Drawing from indigenous practices and understandings, the show seeks to rebalance colonial narratives within the much larger story of this place we now call Canada.
The exhibit includes 19 works by a variety of artists, including Dale Auger, Dick Averns, Jason Carter, James Davies, Chris Flodberg, Julian Forrest, O.N. Grandmaison, Terrance Houle, Eve Koch, George Littlechild, Dawn Marie Marchand, Pat Nokomis, Tim Okamura, Aaron Paquette, Mitchel Smith and Tim Van Horn.

Join us on the closing weekend of The Dream We Form By Being Together for a very special panel discussion. Elder Jerry Saddleback Sr. of the Samson Cree Nation will open our afternoon with a prayer. Exhibition artist Dawn Marie Marchand will discuss her art along with aspects of colonization and their continued expression within our society today. Exhibition curator Dr. Troy Patenaude will talk about creating the show: his vision, ideas, research and choices. After a discussion and Q and A we will collect on the Capital Plaza for an honour gathering for the exhibition’s collected Moments of Repair cards.
