About
Join us for an immersive artist's talk featuring married artists Theo Pelmus and Kristin Snowbird, who will present a comprehensive overview of their performance-based and digital artworks. Their work delves into themes of intimacy, land relationships, spirituality, and resilience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and beyond. Pelmus and Snowbird foster intercultural understanding through their shared artistic practice by blending elements from their Romanian (Pelmus) and Cree/Ojibwe from Pinecreek First Nation (Snowbird) backgrounds.
The session will highlight how they utilize digital and ephemeral media to reinvent artistic traditions, illustrating how traditional forms were once innovative. Their work also explores ways to reinvigorate cultural artifacts of the past through emerging technologies, such as using artificial intelligence to amplify voices speaking traditional Indigenous languages. Presented in partnership with the University of Regina Department of Visual Arts.

Art Gallery of Regina
Located on Treaty 4 Territory, the Art Gallery of Regina (formerly The Rosemont Art Gallery) shares the artwork and experiences of artists living in Saskatchewan, allowing viewers to recognize themselves and gain powerful insights into other people's stories. Founded in the early 1970s as a community-focused satellite of a larger art gallery, the AGR continues to support historically excluded artists and artistic disciplines and create ways for people to discover the importance of art in our lives.
The AGR is a tenant in the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre.
