nâpêhkâsowinowâk explores the evolving meaning of being a warrior in today's world through the eyes of young Indigenous men. Instead of focusing solely on traditional notions of bravery, the exhibition expands the idea of the “warrior” to include witnessing, recording, and bearing testimony to lived experiences. Through paintings by Lonigan Gilbert and Coda Girvan, alongside powerful prints and installations from Evan Robinson, Matthew Provost, and seth cardinal dodginghorse, the exhibition delves into themes of identity, pop culture, celebration, emotion, political response, and the complex layers of grief. The exhibition is further enriched by the stirring spoken word poetry of the late Taran Kootenhayoo, whose words amplify the voices of a generation navigating identity, resistance, and transformation. nâpêhkâsowinowâk invites visitors to reflect on what courage, resilience, and warriorhood look like in a contemporary context, challenging preconceptions while honouring the unique perspectives of a new generation.

Catastrophic forest fires and wildfires are becoming increasingly common. Smoke from Alberta fires routinely blots out the sun for much of the province and at times across the entire continent. Alberta communities are routinely evacuated from their homes and, tragically, some never return. The human relationship to fire has formed over hundreds of thousands of years and is continually evolving. This exhibition draws from the Art Gallery of Alberta's permanent collection and shows how the human relationship to fire is nuanced and multifaceted. Fire creates, welcomes, beckons, warms and nourishes. It also destroys, harms, burns and decimates. It has the power to transform, transmute, alter states of matter and communicate. From the mundane to the profound to the catastrophic, fire has changed us, and we have changed fire. This exhibition is produced by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Lindsey Sharman.

Included in our exhibition Scents of Movement, Scents of Place, this collection of audio recordings is part of an ongoing project by artist Brian Goeltzenleuchter. Scents of Exile, 2019 bears witness to the immigrant experience through storytelling and memory. The artist translates individual stories into an olfactory experience embedded in hand sanitizer. When we use scented hand sanitizer, we are invited into someone else's experience.
