Passage
The Land Holds Us Collective art collective
February 2 – March 8, 2024
This exhibition is at Stride Gallery in Calgary, AB.
In the exhibition Passage, presented by The Land Holds Us Collective, we explore the afterlife, and the thin boundary between this world and the next. In this journey, between the now and the other, we contemplate the profound impact of relationships between the living and those who have passed on. Our bodies, our DNA, carry wisdom passed on from our ancestors, connecting us to a deep history that continually shapes our existence. We strive to become in tune with our spirits and to relish in the beauty of our ancestral connections. We make art to honour ourselves and those who have come before us, guiding us toward the sacred direction of returning home. Each piece is an exploration, a celebration, of the body as a vessel for metamorphosis where the shining memories of our ancestors illuminate the present.
