Pikiskwe-Speak Art & Film Installation

A Cross-Canada Touring Art & Film Installation; An Invitation to Conversations in Reconciliation

The Cross-Canada Touring Art & Film Installation, pîkiskwe-speak, is an Invitation to Conversations in Reconciliation.

It features the works:
LOST MY TALK (Mixed-Media Triptych) by Lana Whiskeyjack
& LANA GETS HER TALK (Documentary Film) by Beth Wishart MacKenzie

In this “Time of Reconciliation” pîkiskwe-speak seeks to engage host communities in Conversations of Reconciliation through ART; conversations that will explore the enduring effects of Canada’s Indian Residential School system with the aim of writing a New Chapter, painting a new vision, and creating a new protocol for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous relations in Canada.

pîkiskwe-speak “is one of 200 exceptional projects funded through the Canada Council for the Arts’ New Chapter Program (in commemoration of Canada’s 150th). With this $35M investment, the Council supports the creation and sharing of the arts in communities across Canada. ” (CCA Communiqué).
