Featuring Darlene St. Georges
River's Invocations
University Recital Hall
Admission is free, everyone welcome

Darlene St. Georges is associate professor of art education at ULethbridge. Her creation-centred research practice weaves painting, poetics, narrative, and pedagogy to explore elemental beings as co-creators. Recent work, including River’s Invocations, engages water, sky, land, and cosmos as sentient pedagogies—living literacies that illuminate kinship, memory, and relational ethics. Her exhibition, River's Invocations, is on view in the Passage Gallery at Casa until October 24.

Live Zoom webinar Join the webinar here

We are excited to be collaborating with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery on this Zoom talk. Namaakii Bee Bear Hat's exhibition, Something Given, is on view at SAAG until October 18.

Namaakii Bee Bear Hat is a Mohkinstsis based artist, whose Blackfoot and Cree/Dane-zaa ancestors have lived on the lands that are now part of Treaty 7 and 8, for many millennia. Her work explores this cultural lineage through installation, photography, text and collage. Bear Hat graduated from the Alberta University of the Arts in 2011, where she majored in painting. Her work explores identity and story-telling, wanting to give back to the rich stories of her home territories. Within her work, Bear Hat is unfolding that which ties her to these unique landscapes.
