September 25, 2023 - We are launching our exhibit in partnership with local Indigenous artists from the Brascoupé family.
The exhibit is titled "Akì eji pimadjiwomagak", meaning "Land Connection". This exhibit is a camper featuring a mural on all four sides painted by Algonquin Anishinabe artist, Emily Brascoupé-Hoefler and her family. The camper greets visitors with one single, powerful and inviting word: “Kwey”, the Algonquin word for "Hello". The art highlights culturally significant imagery and stories related to the land, water, animals, nature and Algonquin ingenuity. It is a visual, audio and augmented reality exploration and celebration of Indigenous public art and artists here in Ottawa. It is a completely FREE, 7-stop walking tour (including 3 AR experiences), and will take people on a journey of discovery, connecting with the land and its stories through the lens of local Indigenous artists.
The three AR experiences available in Ottawa are:
Akì eji pimadjiwomagak / Land Connection: Camper exhibit at 118 Sparks Street
National Arts Centre - Heartbeat of Mother Earth, by Algonquin Anishinabe artist Emily Brascoupé (coming soon)
Confederation Park - Spirit Ponies by Métis artist Rhonda Snow
We invite you to download the Engage Art app before arriving.

Perhaps a video showing and explaining that the 1867 BNA act has been repealed since 1893 because this is and has always been un-ceded Turtle Island not Canada not the USA, these are for profit corporations. E.G. 0000230098 Canada Inc 501 Pennsylvania Ave. The CROWN and it's owners have been perpetuating genocide, deception and theft for far too long. Read UNDRIP articles 1,2,3,4,5,7,34,40 of the 1982 Constitution and SCC decision AGQU v AGCA. Anyone born on Turtle Island is Indigenous. Miigwetch
