An exhibition of Intergenerational Indigenous Art.
The Salmon Arm Museum at R.J. Haney Heritage Village, co-curated with Secwépemc/Syilx artist Csetkwe Fortier, presents the exhibition cnéwelc: Follow a Trail. The exhibition showcases the late Daphne Odjig and features art by Tania Willard, Manuel Axel Strain, Sean Stiller, and Csetkwe Fortier.
Viewers are invited to walk through the Montebello Gallery on a trail of aromatic cedar and take in moments of reflection with art created from and for Indigenous resistance, relationship to land, kinship, and resilience.
