Akìmazinàzowin | An Image of the Land

The Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum is pleased to launch its 2021 Artist-in-Residence exhibition, featuring the work of Algonquin artist Mairi Brascoupé.

Akìmazinàzowin | An Image of the Land invites us to hear compelling stories of the land and witness history through another lens.

Integrating beadwork into a map of the region as it exists today, the artist invites us to explore our understanding of place during times of change and uncertainty, and to look at how values may differ, specifically for Indigenous peoples. How can we strive for a future that brings our different perspectives into alignment?

Akìmazinàzowin | An Image of the Land opens on Saturday, November 6, 2021. Admission to the exhibition is included with general admission to the Diefenbunker (both guided and self-guided tours).
