À propos
On an idyllic fall day in October 2023, a group of people gathered at Original Humboldt for an afternoon of land-based learning with Elder Gilbert Kewistep and his son Myron Neapetung. Among the learners were a group of artists, Cristine Andrew Stuckel, Diana Roelens, Michelle LaFayette, Elaina Adams, Becky Zimmer, Bonnie Conly and Zyg Kondzielewski, who have since created new works inspired by the knowledge shared by Gilbert and Myron, the experience of being together on the land, and the sights and sounds of the landscape.
The pieces show the varied perspectives and creativity of the artists, with work in photography, glass, multimedia installations, textile, ceramic sculpture and painting. Each artwork explores its creator’s relationship to the land, their own personal histories and how learning more about Reconciliation is changing their understanding of the future.
Visit the Art Corner and make a unique nature journal out of paper bags. Take the journal out to Original Humboldt, or just out to your back yard, to get inspired by the land yourself!
