About
The Humboldt & District Museum and Humboldt & Area Art Council is excited to host an artists talk with Audrey Dreaver in connection with the "I Do Not Have My Words" exhibit.
Audrey Dreaver is a painter, curator, consultant, and art and art history instructor. She comes from Nehiyiwak (Plains Cree) and her family is from the Mistawasis and Ahtahkakoop Cree Nations in Saskatchewan. Her artwork explores the personal impact of not being affluent in one's ancestral language. By analyzing the relationship between language and identity, her work poses many questions - How did my family come to lose our language? Is language who you are?
The exhibit features three Indigenous, Saskatchewan-born artists – Joi T. Arcand, Catherine Blackburn, and Audrey Dreaver. Through multiple artistic mediums, including photography, printmaking and beading, the artists explore language loss and consider how language is connected to one’s cultural identity.
The show was curated and organized by the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery with funding assistance from the City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture, Saskatchewan Lotteries, and the Canada Council for the Arts. The exhibit is sponsored by the Humboldt Area Arts Council and OSAC.
