Overview
Visual + Digital Arts Indigenous Residency invites Indigenous artists, curators, and cultural practitioners from all nations around the world to come together, create new work, and discuss topics pertinent to their culture and contemporary art practice.
Located on the side of Sleeping Buffalo Mountain, the Centre's campus rests upon a historic sacred gathering place for the Blackfoot, Stoney Nakoda, and Tsuu T’ina people, who met here for trade and knowledge sharing, visions, ceremony, and celebration. Continuing in this tradition, participants in the residency will have the opportunity to meet with local Elders, engage with faculty and visiting guest artists, and tap into the community of knowledge of their peers around contemporary Indigenous art practice.
Through peer interaction, discussion groups, studio work, formal lectures, and studio visits from world-renowned visiting artists and curators, participants gain new ideas and insights that can be applied to creative exploration and the development of their work.
