About
A collaborative art project led by artist-in-residence Rebecca La Marre and Aden Bowman art students, honoring the history of a displaced Michif/Métis community once rooted on the school’s land. Students will create 40–60 ceramic sculptures resembling plant life and seed pods, symbolizing renewal and resilience. The sculptures will be barrel-fired to mark the struggles of displacement and installed as a glowing, walkable garden landscape with illuminated pieces arranged along a footpath lined by translucent green fabric. The installation invites audiences to reflect on the site’s layered history through an immersive, otherworldly experience.

Aden Bowman Collegiate & Rebecca La Marre
The project is a collaboration between Senator Nora Cummings, artist-in-residence Rebecca La Marre, the students of Aden Bowman Collegiate.
Rebecca La Marre is a queer, Canadian artist who stages experiments to research how words impact bodies. She uses clay and text to give form to questions, like what it means to be a person in the world and how ideological structures, language, and ritual shape experience.
