Tonight is the vernissage of the 6th edition of the Contemporary Native Art Biennial, “Land Back” at the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke.
The theme of the 6th Contemporary Native Art Biennial (BACA) is Land Back, referring to the Indigenous-led actions to recover stewardship of traditional lands and ecosystems, protecting them for coming generations.
The 6th edition of the Contemporary Native Art Biennial will take place primarily in May-June 2022 in four cities across Quebec. The Biennial will have eight venues: La Guilde, the Art Mûr Gallery, the Stewart Hall Art Gallery, the McCord Museum, the Maison de la Culture de Verdun – Quai 5160, the Sherbrooke Museum of Fine Arts, the Maison des Jésuites de Sillery and Expression – Centre d’exposition de Saint-Hyacinthe.
Land Back is curated by Michael Patten, the Director of BACA, with the support of guest researcher Alexandra Nordstrom. The exhibitions feature more than fifty Indigenous artists that have never shown in the BACA Biennial.
