À propos
Ohné:ka (Oh-nay-ga) – the Mohawk word for water – is an exhibition in partnership with the Niagara Regional Native Centre (NRNC). The artwork in this exhibition was created during a workshop held by the NRNC for its youth.
Led by artist Cheyenne Ricard, the workshop began by reminding the youth of the significance of water in our everyday lives. Ricard utilized her featured artwork, Ohné:ka, to underscore the importance of water, as it is what gives all of us life. Water should be protected and cherished by everyone.
Ricard prompted the youth to draw their favorite ocean animal, reflecting a connection to water that goes beyond human existence.
On the exterior of the facility, a large-scale mural based on the painting by Ricard can be viewed.
