Opening Reception for Seasons featuring Faye HeavyShield, Jennie Krauchi and Jerry Saddleback

@ Ociciwan Contemporary Art Centre // 4:00 pm

Seasons are a time of new beginnings, they represent stages of life and offer a way to adapt to and embrace change. Seasons are deeply integrated into Indigenous cultural worldviews, offering a way to connect through land-based practices and understand transitions in a way that is interconnected to family, community, land, and the spirit world. Fall and winter are storytelling seasons, food gathering and hunting is seasonal, and the time to practice art-making such as beadwork can also be seasonally informed. 

The exhibition features renowned artists Faye HeavyShield, Jennine Krauchi, and Jerry Saddleback who explore the transitions we experience through life. With many layers of meaning, we see a bow symbolizing the hunting period, family photos reflecting generational shifts, and a Moss Bag representing childhood as a sacred gift from the Creator. Each of these moments evokes a constant state of change and transformation, unfolding gradually over time.
