Join WAG-Qaumajuq for a packed day celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day! Everyone is welcome!
Start your visit with Indigenous Education Coordinator Rebecca Claire McIvor for a tour speaking to The Art of Sovereignty. This tour will be looking at artworks by Indigenous artists who have continued to assert their ability to make their own decisions with regards to their Indigeneity, to speak and have their voices heard through their art in a colonized world.
Participate in the art making workshop with Ojibwe artist, Dee Barsy from 1-3pm.
Starting at 3pm, join us for a rooftop concert and snacks. The show starts with Tunngasugit Youth Throat Singers.
