Exhibition catalog for Nayanno Nibiimaang Gichigamiin, New works by Barry Ace

”This exhibition presents a new series of Anishnaabeg honouring blankets and anishinaabeg honouring bandoliers for The Five Great Lakes; M’Chigeeng First Nation; and lake Mindemoya. Hudson Bay trade blankets are adorned with individual blanket strips with intricate floral motifs composed from glass beads and electronic components (capacitors, resistors, and diodes). Each blanket is a homage to Nayanno-nibiimaang Gidgigamiin as the traditional homeland of the Anishnaabeg. Animated Anishnaabeg bandoliers are individually embellished with complex beadwork and electrical component floral motifs and embedded with new media digital tablets streaming images and video acknowledging the long-standing cultural continuity and the ongoing confluence between the historical and contemporary in Anishinaabeg culture.” - exert from “Nayaano Nibiimaang Gichigamiin”
