In an intensive week-long art-creation workshop, seven emerging and mid-career Indigenous artists collaborated on an outdoor installation in the courtyard of Concordia’s FOFA Gallery for the night of Nuit Blanche.

Gathering at Concordia’s Indigenous Futures research cluster of the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology, the group of animators, painters, filmmakers, and mixed media artists shared skills, stories, and urban Indigenous experiences. Participating artists include Darcie Bernhardt, Glenn Gear, Megan Kyak-Monteith, Tom McLeod, Caroline Monnet, Jason Sikoak, and Jesse Tungilik.

Memory Keepers I was the first of three intensive artist residencies run by Transactive Memory Keepers, curated by GLAM Collective.
