SUMMARY:Respondent Series | A Talk with Sherry Farrell Racette | From Colonialism to Visual Sovereignty: Indigenous Bodies and the Camera
DESCRIPTION:In response to our current exhibition Entering the Landscape\, on Tuesday\, October 17th at 7pm\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art presents “From Colonialism to Visual Sovereignty: Indigenous Bodies and the Camera” by beloved scholar\, artist and educator\, Sherry Farrell Racette as part of our Respondent Series. \nConsidering the extensive representation of Indigenous women employing video or photography in Entering the Landscape\, Racette will contextualize the impact of these technologies historically and their contemporary uses. She will speak to the fraught history of visual representation as an early tool of colonization\, with particular focus on lens-based media. Recognizing its contemporary use as an apparatus of resistance and reclamation\, Racette will trace a trajectory that sees a transition from the camera as a colonial instrument used to fetishize\, and sexualize Indigenous peoples\, to its empowered use by Indigenous women beginning in the mid-twentieth century. Coming full circle\, Racette posits the camera as “now enable[ing] powerful acts of the imaginary to affirm our stories\, reclaim our sovereign bodies and assert our enduring relationship to land”. \nSherry Farrell Racette is an interdisciplinary scholar and artist. As a researcher\, educator\, writer and artist\, Racette’s influence on advancing Indigenous art histories in the Canadian context has been profound. She is interested in Indigenous understandings and uses of archival practices\, material culture\, and photography. In addition to authoring several books\, Racette’s essays appear in numerous scholarly publications including\, Sources and Methods in Indigenous Studies (2016)\, The Cultural Work of Photography in Canada (2012)\, and Manifestations: New Native Art Criticism (2011). As an artist\, Racette works in a range of media\, with a particular affection for beading. In 2012\, she notably collaborated with Urban Shaman Gallery to bring the traveling exhibition Walking with our Sisters\, a community arts project honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women\, to Winnipeg. In 2016-2017\, she was the inaugural resident “Distinguished Visiting Indigenous Faculty Fellow” at the Jackman Humanities Institute\, University of Toronto and is currently teaching at the Faculty of Media\, Art and Performance at the University of Regina. \n\nThis talk is programmed in conjunction with Entering the Landscape (October 1 to December 31\, 2017)  \nPia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory  • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K.

Working in film and video\, photography\, sculpture\, and performance these artists represent a breadth of politicized contemporary and iconic historical works that place the female or queer body in the landscape. Bringing together artworks that conceptually and aesthetically overlap\, this exhibition identifies and considers a persistent motif in contemporary art. \n\n\n\nAll public programming is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Clay Figure Building Workshops with Artist Jaime Black
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Plug In ICA – 460 Portage Avenue • Workshop at Studio 393 • 393 Portage Avenue\, in the skywalk between Portage Place and The Bay\n\nProgrammed in conjunction with our current exhibition Entering the Landscape\, artist Jaime Black will facilitate clay figure-building workshops on Monday\, October 23 and Wednesday\, October 25 from 5:30-8:30pm. The programing on both evenings will begin at Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art with a short tour of Entering the Landscape. From there\, we will move to Gallery 393 where Jaime will introduce the workshop\, and teach participants a basic hand-building technique to sculpt the clay. Please join us for one or both sessions. \nBuilding on Black’s persistent interest in land-based practices\, this workshop derives from the premise that the land mutually shapes and is shaped by us. Taking clay as material also draws connections on a wider global scale\, recognizing its uses worldwide for utilitarian and spiritual purposes. Drawing out these references\, Black facilitates an opportunity for a tangible and embodied relationship to the land. \nAll materials and tools will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their creations home with them after the workshop. \n\nJaime Black is a Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary artist of mixed Anishnaabe/Cree and European descent using installation\, photography and performance to examine themes of gender\, identity\, place and resistance. As an active member of the Winnipeg arts community\, Black has developed arts education curriculum for Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art\, was an active board member for Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art (MAWA)\, and filed the role of Education Coordinator at Martha Street Print Studio. As an artist\, Black has shown widely throughout Canada. Her well-known piece\, The REDress Project is on permanent display at the Human Rights Museum\, and has become a nationally recognized symbol of the struggle and response to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. She was recently the artist in residence for the department of gender studies at the University of Toronto where she produced We Are the Land. In the spring of 2017\, Black exhibited work for Traces at Urban Shaman\, and in the fall of 2017\, Shards at Gallery 1c03. Black was recently invited to be a facilitator for the prominent Kaha:wi Dance Theatre Creation Lab. \nThese workshop are generously supported by Studio 393 and programmed in conjunction with Entering the Landscape (October 1 to December 31\, 2017) Pia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K.
