Krista Belle Stewart - exhibition Opens on Thursday Jan 22, 7-10pm From Jan 23 to Feb 15, 2015 The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of Canadian artist Krista Belle Stewart, the culmination of a fall 2014 residency at the Nisga’a Museum comprising new works developed in Nisga’a and at her ancestral home in Douglas Lake, BC. Stewart typically reclaims personal and cultural narratives from colonial archives, situating them in dialogue with contemporary indigenous discourse and engaging the complexities of intention and interpretation. In relation to this reframing of documents, Stewart’s new installation considers First Nations women’s acts of self-representation and sovereignty. Working with her personal stories and those of the women she met in Nisga’a, Stewart investigates how cultural knowledge is created and exchanged, weaving together new lens-based works with archival photographs and objects from Nisga’a. - See more at: contemporaryartgallery.ca/exhibitions/krista-belle-stewart/#sthash.x7zIfYx2.dpuf
