Clearing a Path: New Ways of Seeing Traditional Indigenous Art

Description

In 2005| as part of the province’s centennial celebrations| the Saskatchewan Arts Board contracted Sherry Farrell Racette and Carmen Robertson to curate an exhibition which would bring together a diverse group of contemporary artists working in traditional Indigenous media| all of whom had been recipients of the then nascent Traditional Artist Grant program. More than three years later| the exhibition continued to flourish and tour. This catalogue includes introductory essays by the curators| along with photographs of the exhibition pieces and artist statements from 21 participating artists.
