The GRAND and Exposure Photography Festival present

In conjunction with Exposure Photography Festival, The GRAND presents Mino-Pimatisiwin: Reclaiming the 'Good Life' curated by Autumn Whiteway. An exhibition dedicated to the resurgence of Indigenous Culture, Mino-pimatisiwin, a Cree word for the "Good Life”, describes when all aspects of life are in balance and harmony: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Mino-Pimatisiwin: Reclaiming the 'Good Life' will feature 40 photographic works by local Indigenous artists in The GRAND's historic Lobby.

Autumn Whiteway (“Night Singing Woman”) is a Saulteaux/Métis visual artist, traditional craftworker, curator and archaeologist. She holds an M.A. in Anthropology from University of Manitoba, a B.Sc. (First Class Honours) in Archaeology concentrating in Physical Anthropology from University of Calgary and a B.A. (With Distinction) in Greek and Roman Studies from University of Calgary.

Please join us online for the Closing Reception of Mino-Pimatisiwin: Reclaiming the ‘Good Life’ via Zoom this Friday, February 25, 2022 from 6-7:30 pm MST.
